Lattin

Artificial Mound

bawn79 Jul 4, 2007

This mound is on the right as you come into Lattin on the R515. It is a quite huge mound. Must be at least 5m high. I’m not sure of its date, it may be a Motte but it is listed in the OS Map as a mound.

“The tumulus at Lattin is most likely contemporaneous with the great burial mound at Newgrange”

Lattin

Artificial Mound

Joseph Moran Feb 9, 2026

The site is breathtaking in person, standing at a height of 5.4-7.2m, it is an imposing spectre on the Tipperary landscape. The matter of the mound’s nature is up for debate; weather it is neolithic in origin, as claimed on the information board found at the site, or a later round-barrow from the bronze age (the camp I happen to find myself in), as according to the national monuments service, it will always stand out as one of the most impressive antiquities of rural Tipperary.
