Aghadoe (Irish: Achadh an Dá Eó) 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.[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]
