What is recorded here

Kilgerrill holds an irregular churchyard nearly ninety metres long where a faint scarp and degraded bank still mark the edge of sacred ground. The eastern and southern boundaries have vanished beneath grass and time, leaving only a whisper of the original shape. A church and graveyard occupy the centre, while a low rounded bank extends from the graveyard wall toward the northwest. The enclosure feels less like a ruin and more like a living threshold, still separating the ordinary field from the company of the dead.

In undulating grassland. An irregular enclosure (N-S c. 90m, E-W c. 38m) defined by a scarp (H 0.4m max.) from WSW through W to NW, and by a low degraded bank from NW through N to E. No trace survives from E through S to WSW. A field boundary overlies the bank from NW through N to NNE. A shallow external depression at W appears modern. A church (GA074-059002-) and graveyard (GA074-059002-) lie within the interior. A low rounded bank (L c. 19m) extends off the graveyard wall at NW. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
