Kill [2] is a village in County Waterford, Ireland located between Dungarvan and Tramore,[3] on the R681 road. It lies in the townlands of Kilbarrymeaden and Sleveen. The settlement takes its name from the locality of Kilbarrymeaden, a former medieval parish. A historic ruined church from this parish lies outside present day Kill. The early ecclesiastical site of Kilbarrymeaden lies 2 km southeast of the village.[4] The pubs in the village are The Well and Dunphy's.[5]
