Derrynaflan Church, Medieval church ruin in County Tipperary, Ireland
The stone church structure stands on an elevated area within Littleton Bog, featuring remaining walls with five visible window openings and foundations of a nave.
The monastery at this location was established in the 6th century under the guidance of Ruadhán of Lorrha and supported by the King-Bishops of Cashel.
The discovery of the Derrynaflan Hoard in 1980 revealed exceptional medieval metalwork, including a silver chalice from the 8th to 9th century period.
The church ruins are accessible during daylight hours without entrance fees, and visitors can reach the site through the road network in County Tipperary.
A stone slab found at the site contains an inscription with a prayer for Dubscuile, which is now preserved in the National Museum of Ireland.
