What is recorded here
Enclosed Moravian cemetery, c.1750, with roughcast rendered boundary wall and rock-faced granite ashlar entrance gateway having cast-iron gate in pointed opening. Carved name plaque above. Axial path within, with flat, square stone grave markers arranged in rows to either side. Avenue of cherry trees flanking path.
Graveyard used from the eighteenth until the early twentieth century by followers of the evangelical religious sect founded in Ireland by John Cennick, who came to Dublin in 1746. It thus forms part of the religious and social history of Dublin and its minority groups. It preserves a planned ritual landscape and the distinctive grave markers, and provides a contrast to more usual Victorian ideas on garden cemeteries.
