Kill of the Grange (Irish: Cill na Gráinsí),[2] often Kill o' the Grange, is a suburban community and ancient parish in the half-barony of Rathdown, within the traditional County Dublin, in the jurisdiction of Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown. It contains an early religious site, which is a National Monument.[3] The area, sometimees described as a twin of, and sometimes as part of, Deansgrange, is 5 miles southeast of Dublin.[4]
twin communities in South County Dublin - Dean's Grange, centred on the shops at the junction of Clonkeen Road and Kill Lane, and Kill of the Grange at Baker's Corner, both of which in the course of the century just gone out, have lost their identities as distinct villages
