St. Kevin's Church, Camden Row, Dublin, Medieval church ruins in Camden Row, Ireland

The stone church structure stands without a roof, featuring Gothic architectural elements and incorporating remnants of the original 13th-century foundations beneath its 1750s construction.

The church site dates back to 1226, initially positioned outside Dublin's city walls, and served as part of the Manor of St. Sepulchre under direct control of Dublin's Archbishop.

Archaeological excavations in 1967 revealed medieval graves and coins, while the cemetery contains both Protestant and Catholic burials, including Archbishop Dermot O'Hurley's remains.

The church ruins remain visible from Camden Row, with exterior observation permitted through wrought iron bars, though internal access to the structure is restricted.

The cemetery grounds witnessed military activity during the Irish Confederate Wars, when soldiers used the surrounding lands before the Battle of Rathmines.
