Etymology
Halligill, 1865 OS, Haylocgile 13 (1294) Ch, Hallowgill 1706, PR, Hallygill 1740 ib, 1823 M. The first el. is possibly the ME byname Heiloc (Reaney 158), v. gil 'ravine'. But we may have an OE *heg-loc 'enclosure with a hedge' (cf. such compounds as hege-stall , hege -stōw ) or 'bar to close the opening in a fence' as in OE heg -stæf , which has this meaning.
