To prevent body-snatching in Glasnevin, a high wall of best Dublin calp was built around the old cemetery perimeter, interspersed at intervals with battlemented towers. During the night guards would be posted to prevent body snatchers from raiding fresh graves. One of these towers still stands at the entrance to Glasnevin Cemetery, the largest cemetery in Ireland, first opened in 1832 after a series of events prompted Daniel O'Connell to establish a place where people of all religions could bury their dead with dignity. It was initially called Prospect Cemetery. The land was consecrated by Monsignor Yore in Sept 1831 and five months later, Michael Carey of Francis Street in Dublin was the first person to be buried there. Glasnevin Cemetery, as we know it now, has grown from its original nine to over one hundred and twenty acres. in excess of one million men and women are laid to rest there.
