Aghadoe (Irish: Achadh Deo) is a large townland[1] overlooking the town and lakes of Killarney in Ireland. Officially it is also a parish[2],[3] 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[4]. The ruins of 13th century Parkavonear Castle and of "Aghadoe Cathedral," an old Romanesque church in ruins, make the spot popular with tourists and archaeologists[5].
Aghadoe takes its name from Acha Da Eo, which is Irish for "The place of the two yew trees"[5]. (It was traditional for church yards to have only one yew tree).
