Moynoe

Moynoe (Irish: Maigh nEo[1]) is a civil parish in County Clare, Ireland.

Most of the parish, apart from a district of 2.5 miles (4.0 km) beside Scariff bay on Lough Derg, is in the Slieve-Baughta mountains.

Near it a ruined arch was probably a gateway that led to Moynoe castle, the property of Edmond O’Grady.

[2] In 1633 Richard Boyle, 1st Earl of Cork, bought ten quarters of land north of the Graney River in the Tuamgraney parish, including the castle and ironworks of Scarriff.

[5] Today Scariff and Moynoe is a parish of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Killaloe.
