Deansgrange is a suburban area of the south of Dublin, centred on a crossroads. The area shares the name Clonkeen. The area further east of Deansgrange is known as "Kill of the Grange".

History

In the Middle Ages the area was owned by the Augustinians,[1] and used as a monastic grange, giving rise to the mediæval parish of Kill, in the Half-Barony of Rathdown. The Ordnance Survey Ireland map 1837–1842 shows a "Grange Church" (now in ruins, the modern housing estate surrounding it is called Kill Abbey), "Kill Abbey" (still existing), "Grange House" (demolished with the building of the South Park estate), and "Glebe House" (still existing).

The townland may have been named 'Deansgrange' as the residence assigned to the Dean of the monastery.
