Grave slabs from St Odhrans Monastery in Latteragh. These were found on the opening of O'Brien and Berkery Graves. They are thought to be post medieval and each slab is portable, carved only on one side. These are now on display in the Heritage centre in Nenagh.

 You will notice from this illustrated excerpt from an article by Dorothy Kelly ( JSRAI in Vol. 188 of 1988) that there was also found a slab from nearby Cloghinch with writing on it

These three leaf shaped Bronze Age swords were found in Latteragh by John Hogan on 15/03/1866 whilst he was building a fence. They were found 18 inches below the surface. The handles of two of the swords were broken but the third indicates what they may have all looked like. Swords like these would have been used in a thrusting rather than hacking motion
