Moher Tower is the stone ruin of an old Napoleonic-era watchtower which stands on Hag's Head, at the southern end of the Cliffs of Moher, in County Clare, Ireland.
The current tower stands close to the site of a much earlier promontory fort, known as Mothar or Moher. This earlier fortification stood until at least 1780 and is mentioned in an account from John Lloyd's a Short Tour Of Clare . The earlier fortification was demolished in 1808 to provide material for a new lookout/signaling tower. This was built nearby during the Napoleonic Wars , at a time when similar towers were built along Atlantic coasts to counter fears of invasion during Napoleon's reign in Europe.
