London editor Charles MacKay traveled to Killarney in the summer of 1849 and notes that the churchyard itself was small (less than one acre), with a corner reserved for burials from Killarney's workhouse. It was "one of three where paupers are interred" (Mackay, "Forty Years Recollections" 2:90). Over the past three years (1846-1849), Mackay estimates that close to 2,000 Famine victims were buried at Aghadoe. They have "all [been] interred in one very small corner" of the cemetery. The "first glance shows the traveller in the midst of what a Golgotha he stands. In the wretched corner set apart for the paupers the earth is covered with deal planks and fresh remnants of coffins in shocking profusion" (ibid.). Mackay continues with a horrifying and tragic description of the scene at Aghadoe in July of 1849 (ibid., pp. 2:90-95). +== History == +Aghadoe takes its name from ''Achadh an Dá Eo'', which is Irish for "the place of the two [[Taxus baccata|yew]] trees".<ref name="all-ireland.com" /> -Aghadoe takes its name from ''Achadh an Dá Eo'', which is Irish for "The place of the two [[Taxus baccata|yew]] trees".<ref name="all-ireland.com"/> (It was traditional for church yards to have only one yew tree).{{fact|date=June 2021}} -{{wide image|Cropped panorama Aghadoe view.jpg|1000px|Panoramic view from Aghadoe}} +During the [[Great Famine (Ireland)|Irish Famine]], the abbey or church of Aghadoe's churchyard was the designated burial site for famine and fever victims.
