Kiltullagh (Irish: Cill Tulach, meaning 'church of the hillock') is a village and civil parish in County Galway, Ireland.[1] Located on the R348 regional road, the M6 motorway passes nearby.[2] As of 2011, the townlands of Kiltullagh South and Kiltullagh North, in Kiltullagh civil parish, had a combined population of 93 people.[3]
Evidence of ancient settlement in the area includes a number of ring fort, holy well, fulacht fiadh and ecclesiastical enclosure sites in the townlands of Kiltullagh North, Kiltullagh South and Clogharevaun.[4] Kiltullagh House, a mid-18th century country house in Kiltullagh North, was the birthplace of the mathematician Patrick d'Arcy (1725–1779).[5] The local Catholic church, Saint Peter and Paul's Church, was built c. 1840.[6] The church contains a number of works by Evie Hone.[6][7] The nearby national (primary) school, first established in 1856, now occupies a building built in the mid-20th century.[8] Kiltullagh Pioneers AFC, a local association football (soccer) club, has a facility nearby.[9]
