Churches & Chapels
In the townland of Garryduff in County Mayo, the remains of Kilcurnan Church sit quietly in the landscape, one of countless early ecclesiastical sites scattered across the west of Ireland whose names preserve a record of a Christian presence stretching back well over a thousand years.
The "Kil" prefix, derived from the Irish "cill", meaning a cell or small church, marks it immediately as a site of early religious use, likely associated with the network of local saints and monastic communities that shaped the Irish countryside long before the arrival of the Normans.
