Gráinseach an Déin

Gráinseach an Déin in Irish translates to the ‘The Dean’s Grange’ is a suburban area of south Dublin, which is centred on a crossroads. The Ordnance Survey Ireland map from 1837-1842 shows a ‘Grange Church’ which is now in ruins, surrounded by the housing estate Kill Abbey. ‘Grange House’ was demolished during the building of the South Park Housing Estate. Presumably the dean of the grange lived in ‘Grange House’ and so the area became known as ‘the Dean’s Grange’ and then simply, Deansgrange.

Present Day Deansgrange

Present Day, the crossroads are the commercial centre for the surrounding housing estates. The commercial centre prides itself on welcoming locals and visitors. There is a vast array of different businesses within Deansgrange providing retail, food and professional service amenities. The R827 road runs roughly north-south through Deansgrange from Blackrock to Cabinteely. South of the crossroads is Clonkeen Road leading to Clonkeen College, while north is Deansgrange Road leading to Deansgrange Cemetery. Kill Lane runs roughly east (to Baker’s Corners crossroads and Kill of the Grange) and west (to Foxrock).

Figures in local history

Deansgrange Cemetery is, together with Glasnevin and Mount Jerome, one of the largest cemeteries Dublin and is the burial place of many famous people including Flann O’Brien, Count John McCormack, Frank O’Connor, Eamon Martin, Seán Lemass, Dermot Morgan, Delia Murphy and the Nobel Laureate Ernest Walton. Deansgrange Cemetery also has a wonderful cafe of freshly made soup, sandwiches and delicious cakes.
