Mooghaun (Irish: Múchán)[1] is a late Bronze Age hill fort located in County Clare, Ireland.

It is a well preserved, recently excavated site, occupying an entire hill with wide views of the surrounding lands.

[7] The people who directed its construction were the leaders over a chiefdom in south-east Clare that covered an area of about 450 square kilometres (170 sq mi).

[8] The chiefdom is considered to have been bordered by the Shannon estuary to the south, and mountain ranges to the north, east and west.

[10] The site of the cashels was used in the late eighteenth or early nineteenth century by the inhabitants of the nearby Dromoland estate as a viewing point or even a picnic spot.

[5] A very large hoard of Late Bronze Age gold jewellery was discovered in the neighbouring parish of Mooghaun North in 1854, during construction of a railway from Limerick to Ennis.
