What is recorded here

Derby Square in County Dublin hid a burial ground beneath its courtyard. In the 1940s, coffins and skeletons became exposed, revealing what people had forgotten or discarded. The remains likely belonged to St Martin's graveyard, where ordinary lives ended before the square existed. Forgetting did not remove them; it only buried them until digging brought them back into sight.

In the 1940's coffins and skeletons were exposed in the courtyard of Derby Square (Murtagh, M.1973, 46). These were thought to be the remains of St Martin's graveyard.

A Christian burial ground, likely medieval in date, associated with St Martin's graveyard; its significance lies in its potential connection to a historic church and local religious heritage.
