Moher Tower

Moher Tower ((アイルランド語:Túr an Mhothair); historically ''Moher Uí Ruis'' or ''Moher Uí Ruidhin'')〔(Archaeology of the Burren: Prehistoric Forts and Dolmens in North Clare ) by Thomas Johnson Westropp. ''Journal of the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland'' Vol. xxxv., Consecutive Series; Vol. xv., Fifth Series (1905). Retrieved: 24 February 2012.〕 is the stone ruin of an old watchtower which stands on Hag's Head, at the southern end of the Cliffs of Moher, located in County Clare, Ireland.
== History ==
The current tower stands close to the site of an earlier fortification. This earlier fortification stood until at least 1780 and is mentioned in an account from John Lloyd's a ''Short Tour Of Clare'' (1780).〔(Clare Library – Lloyd's Tour of Clare, 1780 – Burren, Mohar, Liscanor Bay )〕 This earlier fortification was demolished in 1808 to provide material for a new telegraph tower.〔
The present tower was built nearby, perhaps as a lookout tower during the Napoleonic Wars (1803–1815). Similar towers were built along Atlantic coasts to counter fears of invasion during Napoleon's reign in Europe.
