The National Monuments Service's description
A Quakers' Burial Ground on the NE side of John's Lane is marked on a Richard and Scale map of Waterford (1764). It was established in 1689 and was used for c. 80 years, being closed in 1764 when a new Quaker burial ground was opened just off Cross Lane/Parliament St., c. 60m to the SSW (Butler 2004, 130). The John St. burial ground contained about 200 burials (Johnson 2004, 193). Archaeological testing (04E1701) by Daniel Noonan on two service trenches in John's Lane produced burials from the Burial Ground. The area is still an open area (max. dims. c. 25m WNW-ESE; c. 10m NNE-SSW) on the NE side of the lane. (Noonan 2006)
