Keills Chapel, Medieval chapel in North Knapdale, Scotland.

The rectangular stone chapel measures 43 by 20 feet and contains a collection of early Christian cross-slabs and medieval grave monuments.

Built in the 11th century, this religious structure became a burial enclosure after the Scottish Reformation until its restoration in the 20th century.

The Keills Cross, standing seven feet tall, displays intricate carvings of religious figures, including Saint Michael defeating a serpent and Christ on judgment.

The chapel remains open throughout daylight hours without entrance fees, located six miles southwest of Tayvallich off the B8025 road.

The chapel houses forty late medieval grave slabs and six early Christian cross-slabs, with one stone originating from distant Saddell Abbey in Kintyre.
