The National Monuments Service's description

Situated on a low rise, in a green area, NE of Kill Abbey road. A stone font which came originally from Kill of the Grange is now located inside the Church of Ireland at Deansgrange (DU023-016----) (Healy 1975, 1-19).
The site is located within a complex which includes a pre-Norman church with a late medieval chancel (DU023-015001-), a graveyard (DU023-015002-), a holly well (DU023-015003-) a bullaun stone (DU023-015007-), a graveslab (DU023-015005-), the base of a stone cross (DU023-015008-), and two crosses (DU023-015004) from the former laneway into the graveyard which are now in the care of the OPW in Trim, county Meath.
