Kiltealy (Irish: Cill Téile)[1] is a small village in the southeastern corner of Ireland. It is situated on the foothills of the Blackstairs Mountains in County Wexford at the junction of the R702 and R730 regional roads, on the eastern flank of the Blackstairs Mountains. The previous spelling was Cill Teidhile which means the Chapel/cemetery of Teidhil. Teidhil would most likely be the a first name although no longer in use as such.
