Kilkelly (Irish: Cill Cheallaigh, meaning 'church of Cellach'[2]) is a small village in Kilmovee civil parish, County Mayo, Ireland.

It is just south of Ireland West Airport on the N17, a national primary road running between Galway and Sligo.

[3] An early ecclesiastical site to the south of Kilkelly village, which includes the remains of a church and graveyard, is historically associated with Saint Celsus (or Cellach).

[5][6] Jones wrote a ballad based on the contents of those letters, conveying the experience of his own family as well as others separated by emigration.

[5][6][7] Kilkelly has a number of shops, a pharmacy,[8] credit union branch,[9] and a post office.
