Croppies Acre Memorial Park

This small memorial park lies beside the Liffey near Collins Barracks and commemorates those who died in the 1798 rebellion against British rule. The name refers to the close-cropped hair of the United Irishmen rebels, many of whom were reputedly buried in a mass grave on this ground. Laid out as a quiet lawn with commemorative stones and planting, it serves as a place of reflection on a formative event in Irish history. Its riverside setting links it to the surrounding museum quarter.
