Killawalla
Killawalla or Killavally (Irish: Coill an Bhaile, meaning 'wood of the homestead')[1] is a village located in County Mayo, Ireland, seven miles (10 km) from Westport on the R330 road to Ballinrobe.Research carried out by NUI Maynooth showed Killawalla to have sustained the biggest population loss of any village in Ireland during the Great Famine.[2] The 1916 rising participant and sport administrator Seán O'Duffy who was heavily involved in the development of camogie in Ireland for 40 years, was born in the old barracks in Killawalla in 1886 according to a plaque erected on the wall of the school.This RIC barracks located in Kinury was one of those closed in the wake of the Tourmakeady ambush during the Irish War of Independence in May of 1921.The entrance to the cave is located in the townland of Ballyburke on private land.
