Killila Graveyard is the site of a medieval parish church dedicated to St. Brigid and closed for a considerable time, but it is teeming with history and heritage.
The Graveyard is dominated by an unusual ‘beehive like tomb’, the entrance is blocked off and a small marble plaque over the entrance on the west end records ‘Talbot and Ffrench’. The Talbot family were related to the Earl of Shrewsbury.
It is one of the unmarked resting places of the victims of the American registered emigrant ship Pomona shipwreck off the Wexford coast
two days after setting sail on April 28th 1859. Most of the over 400 passengers were lost and a memorial to the Pomona was unveiled some years ago in Blackwater village.

Beautiful old cemetery! A shame it isn’t taken care of. Just needs the grass cut. So much history! 1700 stones should be preserved for future generations. Thanks for your long wet walk to bring this to us💕.

I use to watch you when you were Irish Eyes. You often were with a lady who’s name I forgot. I am old now and will never be able to travel to Ireland again. The grave is my next destination, or the crematorium. Your videos are a strange comfort, as you care about the deceased and their last resting places. Bless you dear man. Gods grace be with you.

What a wonderful place to visit. Eve though its over grown it still very beautiful. It's very sad that there was so much tragedy. So sorry that it was so hard to get to the graveyard, but I love you for trying. Lovely shot of the ponies and donkey. What a great way to spend my birthday. Thank you again for a lovely visit to a wonderful place.

Wonderful video. I'm enamored with the old cemeteries with graves from the 1700s. What a horrible story about the wreck of the Pomona, but glad at least some had a resting place together. Thanks for getting through this one. I'd NEVER be able to negotiate all that grass and bumpy/rolly-poly hillside! 😊

My Goodness GV! You really do go to some lengths to record and share these old graveyard with us, and the history leading up to this was so sad…all those lives lost, because the captain was proven intoxicated. That’s dreadful. And then such a sad uncared for little place…I was quite shocked at first..think I was expecting a lot more stones, but then maybe families of some who drowned took them away to be buried in their home graveyards, perhaps they were not all buried here as it seemed to say ? Some of the carvings on those stones were incredible, going back to the 1700’s…lasting longer than even modern ones seem to do! It’s very very sad that nobody has shown any interest in keeping it tidy..maybe more hidden graves under that large gorse patch at the far end ? They need to put some goats or sheep in to get the grass down. Good grazing there, then maybe a volunteer rotation to strim later . Maybe. Even the vault looked abandoned. You both went to such great lengths, almost scuba diving in parts, which we all truly appreciate. I hope people living there may be shamed into doing something about it as a result of this video when they are lucky enough to have so much history on their doorstep. Many,many thanks for such a fascinating,but sad story, and the Lavery connection. Godbless you both. Love and light Helen xx

It was Anastasia GV, sometimes the s was written as an f! Very confusing when trying to read very old records, lol. A couple of goats would sort all that grass out in no time. Thank you for sloshing through to show us those lovely 1700s stones, and that poor veteran all on his own. At least the Pomona disaster hasn't been forgotten, with the plaque as a reminder. Awesome adventure. Deb of Oz.

I'll guess that empty looking spot, between gravestones, and that one stone by itself, there's graves there, either unmarked, or the headstones have fallen down and covered up with vegetation.

Were most of the bodies of the victims recovered?Thank you very much GV and Sue for another wonderful video, take care 😊
