What is recorded here
Quakers Burial Ground in County Laois, Ireland holds one known Quaker buried in the seventeenth century. Christy O'Shea identifies the site as that solitary resting place, making the broad ground unusually small in story. The contrast between a whole burial ground and a single named life turns the place into a quiet paradox, large in space but tiny in history.
Quakers Burial Ground which according to Chirsty O'Shea is the resting place of only one Quaker who was interred in this burial ground in the seventeenth century.
