What is recorded here

Burial ground, opened 1783. Set in unkempt grounds with cylindrical piers to perimeter having overgrown capping supporting replacement tubular steel "farm gate".

A burial ground opened on a site leased (1780) from Isaac Cullimore (----) representing an important component of the ecclesiastical heritage of County Wexford. The burial ground, occupying one half of a plot measuring 1 acre and 25 perches and valued at £6 10s. 0d., was used by the Forest meeting of the Religious Society of Friends who had previously used the burial ground in Corlican (see 15703212). The first recorded burial is that of Jacob Martin (1703-92) whose grandson, Jacob Poole (1774-1827), compiler of "A Glossary with some Pieces of Verse of the Old Dialect of the English Colony in the Baronies of Forth and Bargy County of Wexford Ireland" (1867), is also buried nearby. Those plots are no longer marked but a collection of lichen-spotted markers carry the names of the Burnsides of Cullenstown Castle (see 15704614) and the Sparrows of Cools (see 15704201). NOTE: Only the bases of coupled pillars survive as evidence of the eighteenth-century meeting house (1783) described as 'a place of worship for the Society of Friends' (Lewis 1837 II, 586).
