Add PhotosLocated adjacent to 104 Cork Street, once Dublin's main Society of Friends (Quaker) burial ground. The ground was bequeathed in 1697 by Roger Roberts, a Quaker innkeeper, enclosed by a wall, and opened for burials in 1698. In the 1790s when the Grand Canal Company was constructing the circular line through Dolphin's Barn, the Society of Friends used soil from the excavations to raise the ground level, allowing a new layer of burials over the original ones. In the early 1800s the Society sold its other burial ground in St Stephen's Green and exhumed all the burials and reburied them in the Cork Street burial ground, so all Dublin Quakers prior to the 1860s are buried at the Cork Street burial ground. It was closed for interments in 1868 under the Health in Towns Act and sold to Cork Street Fever Hospital to be used as a garden for the adjoining James Weir Home for Nurses at 104 Cork Street. According to an unpublished study carried out for the Dublin City Council in 2004, there is one upright headstone in place at Cork Street and about a dozen flat stones, some apparently laid retrospectively. After the Cork Street burial ground's closure, Quaker interments took place at Temple Hill Cemetery, also known as Friends Burial Ground.
