Meelin (Irish: An Mhaoilinn, meaning 'bare, flat-topped hillock')[1] is a village in northern County Cork, barony of Duhallow, Ireland.

[citation needed] In the early 20th century quarries were set up in the village and employed over 100 people.

In 1963, English geologist William Morton carried out a survey of the limestone area around the village and assumed there might be oil deep in the rocks.

The original school was opened on 1 July 1856, and built of cut stone from the local limestone quarries.
