Aghadoe is a large townland^[1] overlooking the town and lakes of Killarney in Ireland. Officially it is also a parish, although the parish is larger than the area normally associated with the name^[1]. The area is famous for its views of the lakes and islands, including Innisfallen Island^[2]. The ruins of 13th century Parkavonear Castle and of the old Romanesque church ruins make the spot popular with tourists and archaeologists^[3].

Aghadoe takes its name from Acha Da Eo, which is Irish for "The place of the two yew trees"^[3]. (It was traditional for church yards to have only one yew tree).
