What is recorded here

Indicated was a Huguenot burial ground in County Dublin where non-conformist congregants rested from 1711 to 1879. Jacobs biscuit manufacturers bought the land in 1966, forcing the bones into Mount Jerome graveyard while leaving behind a plain wall plaque. The dead became obstacles to profit, stripped of even a visible marker except that small brass plate.

This former Hugenot burial ground for the non-conformist congregation in Dublin was in use from 1711-1879. In 1966, when Messrs. Jacobs, the biscuit manufacturers purchased the site, remains were re-interred in a special plot in Mount Jerome graveyard. A plaque on the wall marks the site. A map listing some gravestone inscriptions covering the period 1716-1883 is available in Dublin Corporation's Dublin and Irish Collections (Dublin Public Libraries 1990, 40).
