The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a low hillock in a mountainous region. 'In 1301-4 the township of Lotragh owes 40s. for murage money received and not applied to the work', which according to Bradley (1985, 58) would suggest that the settlement was incorporated. Graham (1978, 42) lists Latteragh as a medieval borough based on reference to the borough of Latteragh in the seventeenth century. No earthworks visible at ground level in association with this settlement. Sites at Latteragh include a church and graveyard (TN028-025002), and a castle (TN028-025001).
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
