Ardagh is a townland in the fertile district known as the Laggan in eastern County Donegal. It is very near St Johnston. It became part of the large Abercorn Estate, owned by the Dukes of Abercorn, and was settled by mainly Lowland Scots settlers during the Plantation of Ulster.

The name 'Ardagh if from the Irish Ardachadh, meaning 'High field'.
