What is recorded here
Killallaghtan holds a low earthen bank thirty feet long beside its graveyard, perhaps marking a boundary forgotten by time. The earth rises only inches yet continues irregularly past the church walls, suggesting human hands shaped the landscape before records began. Whether the bank belongs to the graveyard or predates it remains unclear, but its persistence transforms an ordinary field into a place where memory still moves through soil.
A low earthen bank (Wth 8m; H 0.4m) extends for a length of c. 15m from the NW corner of the graveyard (GA099-114002-). A scarp to its E extends beyond the N wall of the graveyard and then turns S and is visible to the E of the E wall. Here its course is rather irregular. It is unclear if these earthworks are associated with the church (GA099-114001-) and graveyard.
