A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description of Llangattock from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72:

"LLANGATTOCK, a township and a parish in Newport [registration] district, Monmouth[shire]. The township lies on the river Usk, adjacent to Caerleon, 2 miles NE of Newport [railway] station. Real property: £2,816. Population: 276. Houses: 54.
"The parish contains also the township of Caerleon, which has a post office under Newport, Monmouth. Acres of the parish, 2,937. Real property, £6,605; of which £10 are in fisheries. Population: 1,544. Houses: 308. The property is not much divided. The living is a vicarage in the diocese of Llandaff. Value: £300. Patrons: the Dean and Chapter of Llandaff. The church stands in Caerleon; is an ancient structure, with interesting features; and was restored in 1867, at a cost of £2,500. A new parsonage was built in 1863, and new charity schools in 1864. The schools have an endowed income of nearly £1,000 a year; and give free education to upwards of 200 children, and clothing and education to upwards of 100 other children. Charities, £22."

Caerleon was separated from Llangattock and made an urban district in 1894. The remaining Llangattock parish is to the northwest of the town of Caerleon with Newport also to the south and Llantarnam to its northwest.
