Tamlaght is an early Christian ecclesiastical site in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, comprising a church and associated graveyard that remained in use across multiple periods from the early Christian era through the post-medieval period. The site is distinguished by several carved stone monuments, including a cross-carved stone, a finial stone, and a bullaun, which testify to the religious and commemorative practices of the early Christian community. The presence of these carved stones indicates continuity of Christian worship and burial practice at the location over an extended chronological span, with the graveyard functioning as an important local burial ground throughout its occupation. Tamlaght thus represents a significant example of an early Christian religious settlement in the Ulster landscape, preserving evidence of both the spiritual and material culture of medieval Irish Christianity.
