Littleton, County Tipperary

Littleton (Irish: An Baile Beag) is a village in County Tipperary, Ireland.

[2] It is within the townlands of Ballybeg and Ballydavid, about 18 km (11 mi) northeast of Cashel and to the southeast of Thurles.

Littleton is closely associated with Bord na Móna, a semi-state company that harvests peat in the nearby complex of raised bogs.

[3] St. Ruadhan of Lorrha founded a monastery on a raised island in the middle of the bog at Littleton.

The "island" is called Derrynaflan and it became famous when a ninth-century chalice, paten, stand and strainer were found there in 1980.
