Parkavonear Castle

Parkavonear Castle is the ruins of a thirteenth century Anglo-Norman unusually cylindrically shaped castle. The walls are 2m wide and the two storeys that remain are joined by a staircase within the wall and the first floor has the remains of a fireplace. There is some evidence that square earthenworks surrounded the castle. Its name is derived from the Irish paírc an mhóinéir, meaning field of the meadow. The castle is located in Aghadoe (Irish: Achadh an Dá Eo) which is a large townland overlooking the town and lakes of Killarney, County Kerry, Ireland (Cill Airne, Contae Chiarraí, Éire). It is close to Aghadoe Cathedral and not far from the  Aghadoe viewing point. Aghadoe is noted for its spectacular views of the lakes and surrounding mountains.
