What is recorded here

Site of Lattin Church is a church in Lattin West, County Tipperary, Ireland. It stood in grassland atop a natural hilltop with good views in all directions. Possible wall-footings oriented east to west remain in the centre of Lattin graveyard, while two medieval window sills and other fragments serve as grave-markers in the southwest quadrant. A holy well known as Lady's well lies 96 metres to the southwest, and the church may have shared its dedication to the Blessed Virgin Mary.

In grassland atop a natural hilltop location, with good views in all directions. Situated in the centre of Lattin graveyard (TS066-044002-) are the possible wall-footings of the church, too vague for measurement but oriented E-W. Several architectural fragments, including two medieval window sills, have been used as grave-markers in the SW quadrant of the graveyard. The graveyard appears to have been cleaned up in the 1980s. According to the OS Letters from 1840, a small portion of the W gable of the church was all that survived (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 1, 4). There is a holy well (TS066-04403-), known as Lady's well, 96m to the SW of the graveyard. The church, like the nearby holy well, may also have been dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 1, 4). Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
