Kilgorman

This graveyard is situated on the coast between Arklow and Tara Hill.

The information on the stones in this graveyard were transcribed by Brian Cantwell. Only pre 1880 stones were transcribed

Mr. Cantwell transcribed stones that had pre 1880 years on them, plus any other stones standing beside these pre 1880 stones with the same surname and a later year. He transcribed stones that were legible and so for any graveyard there may be more stones that have not been transcribed. Memorials in churches were also transcribed and those names are included in these indices.

from Brian Cantwell's 'Memorials of the Dead, Co. Wexford' "This old graveyard, still in use, is situated near Kilgorman caravan park on the coast between Arklow and Tara Hill. The dominant families using the graveyard are the GODKINS and HALLS. I have listed only those memorials within my terms of reference, i.e. 1880 or earlier. Hore, History of Co.Wexford, vol. IV, has many references to the area, he mentions that the memorials in the graveyard were of no particular interest to him. For details of St. German (Gorman or Magorman) titular of Cillgorman, see J. R.S.A.I., vol. VI, pt. 1 (1883), p. 102. "
