Kilgwrrwg () is a rural parish in Monmouthshire, south east Wales, United Kingdom. It is located north west of Chepstow and south east of Usk in a network of country lanes running through the rolling hills below the Trellech ridge.
==History== The Welsh placename element cil means a corner, or retreat, usually in a religious context, and the settlement name is suggestive of its Celtic Christian origins. In 1811 the parish had a population of 133, and in 1831 it had a population of 113 and 26 houses. Historically the parish was part of the Hundred of Raglan and was endowed by the Diocese of Llandaff.
