Aghadoe (Irish: Achadh Deo or Achadh Dá Eó[1]) is a large townland[2] overlooking the town and lakes of Killarney in County Kerry, Ireland. Officially it is also a parish,[3][4] although the parish is larger than the area normally associated with the name.[2] The area is known for its views of the lakes and islands, including Innisfallen.[5] 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.[6] Since 2015, Killarney RFC have their home ground in Aghadoe.[7]
