Headstones: Kill Abbey Graveyard, Dublin Ireland Genealogy Projects Archives Dublin Index Copyright File contributed by: Eadaoin Breslin Photos ----------------------------------------------- KILL ABBEY GRAVEYARD, DUBLIN, IRELAND photos taken 2018 This small ruined church and graveyard is near Dean's Grange, about 12 km south-east of Dublin city. The following is not a complete record, but a selection of the headstones on site. I hope to return in summer 2020 to photograph more stones (and better photos of some headstones). As you enter the graveyard, the photos start on the left-hand side of the church and continue keeping the church on the right. ------------------------------------------------------------. Photo No.0 The church is thought to have been dedicated to St. Fintan and is one of the oldest in the south Dublin area. Photo No.1 Map of graveyard Photo No.2 Taken from the East. Throughout the graveyard there are plinths where the actual headstones have disappeared. Many of the old headstones are broken.
