Caherdoo

Caherdoo is a townland located in the civil parish of Kilcooley, within the barony of Coshlea, County Limerick, Ireland. It is situated in the south-eastern part of the county. The name "Caherdoo" is derived from the Irish words "cahir" meaning stone fort and "dú" meaning black, suggesting a historical presence of a dark stone fort in the area.

There are no significant historical or archaeological sites prominently listed within Caherdoo itself, though the broader region of Coshlea has a rich history of megalithic tombs and medieval castles. The population of Caherdoo is small, consistent with its designation as a townland rather than a larger settlement.
