Aghadoe takes its name from Achadh an Dá Eó, which is Irish for "the place of the two yew trees".[5]
During the Irish Famine, the abbey or church of Aghadoe's churchyard was the designated burial site for famine and fever victims. London editor Charles Mackay travelled 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". From 1846 to 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".[6]
