THE HIDDEN WORLD I GOT ACCESS TO

Guards hold the key. They eventually unlocked the place for me
The site was once the location of an old Celtic church founded by Saint Broc which lends its name to Donnybrook (Irish: Domhnach Broc). Later the church of St. Mary was dedicated by the Archbishop of Dublin, Archbishop John Comyn sometime between 1181 and 1212. The church was rebuilt by Archbishop William King in 1720 and by 1827, due to the size of the congregation, a replacement church was built on the corner of Anglesa Road and Simmonscourt Road and dedicated to St. Mary in 1830. The old church was demolished and the materials sold off. There is a small wall in the middle of the cemetery that is thought to be the remains of the old church.
The entrance to the cemetery was originally located to the south where the Religious Sisters of Charity are located. Today the entrance is beside the Garda station and is through an archway that was erected by the Dublin Stock Exchange in 1893 in memory of Thomas Chamney Searight.
