Inch Kenneth Chapel is a medieval religious site situated on an island in Loch na Keal on the Isle of Mull in Argyllshire. The chapel itself dates to the medieval period and represents an early Christian monastic or parochial foundation, typical of the Hebridean islands where such establishments served local populations and passing pilgrims. Associated with the chapel are a stone cross and a collection of tombstones, which collectively illustrate the site's continuing use as a burial ground through the medieval and later periods. The physical remains demonstrate the spiritual significance of Inch Kenneth as a religious centre within the island landscape, though the exact date of foundation and dedication remain matters of scholarly investigation.
