Annamoe () is a village located on the Avonmore river in County Wicklow, Ireland about 32 km south of Dublin. It is on the R755 road (at the junction with the R763) between Roundwood and Laragh on the road to Glendalough.
The small stone humpback bridge is a common place for tourists to stop and view the County Wicklow scenery. There is a trout fishery in the village with a 4 acre lake where one can fly or bait fish. A separate fishing pond for children allows them to catch brown and rainbow trout.
Annamoe and the surrounding countryside is a breeding stronghold of the great spotted woodpecker, Ireland's newest species."Colonisation and breeding status of the Great Spotted Woodpecker in the Republic of Ireland" Irish Birds (2015) Volume 10 p.183
Castle Kevin, close to Annamoe, of which a few ruins survive, was a medieval fort which formed an important part of Dublin city's defences against raids by the O'Toole clan. The constable was an important Crown official.Close Rolls 35 Edward I; Close Rolls 9 Edward II
