Dalkey Island is an island for which the nearby village of Dalkey is named (Irish: Deilginis meaning “thorn island”). Its an uninhabited island located c. 16 km (9.9 mi) south of Dublin and 3 km (1.9 mi) south of Dún Laoghaire harbour. An important site of pilgrimage for centuries, it has been known as “St Begnet’s Isle” since records began.

It is an important site of ancient and historic remains. Artefacts from the island, now housed in the National Museum in Dublin, show that the island’s original occupants were from the Mesolithic, or Middle Stone Age.  Humans continued to use the site through the NeolithicIron Age and Early Christian period.  It is a home to a colony of seals and there is much  birdlife too along with goats and rabbits.
