Kealkill ({{irish place name|An Chaolchoill}})[1] is a small village in County Cork, Ireland, located 10.3 kilometres from Bantry and 75.8 kilometres from Cork City. Its amenities include a church, a shop, a school, a community playgroup, two public houses and a GAA club (St. Colum's).

Kealkill stone circle is an archaeological site with a very small 5-stone recumbent stone circle, a pair of outlier standing stones, and the remains of a radial stone cairn. The circle is unusual in that the recumbent stone is taller than the other stones and is positioned at the north-east of the circle. In most Irish recumbent stone circles, the recumbent stone is lower than the other stones and is at the south-west side. Breeny More Stone Circle also stands nearby, while Maughanasilly Stone Row is in the hills to the north. Visitors to the circle can view Bantry Bay to the west, Cnoc Baoi to the north and the Sheha Hills to the east.

A series of walks connect the circle to Carriganass Castle and the Sheep's Head Way.
