The Abbey was later used for burials. James Cusack, Catholic Bishop of Meath 1679–88, was buried in an effigial tomb. Also buried here is John Bellew, 1st Baron Bellew of Duleek who died of wounds received at the Battle of Aughrim, and his second son, Richard Bellew, 3rd Baron Bellew of Duleek. Saint Kienan's, a Church of Ireland church, was built next to the old abbey in 1816.
