Kilmoon is a civil parish of County Clare, Ireland, located 7 miles (11 km) north of Ennistymon, just to the northeast of Lisdoonvarna.
History
The patron saint of the parish is St Muadanus; very little is known about him and he's not even mentioned in either the Acta Sanctorum of Colgan nor in the Martyrology of Donegal. The parish was listed as "Kilmugoun" in the Papal taxation of 1302. There is a Romanesque standing stone in the area on the site of a ruined church, St Mogua.
Kilmoon fell under the Poor Law Union of Ennistymon in the barony of Burren, and ecclesiastically belonged to the Diocese of Kilfenora in the Province of Cashel as of 1810.
Geography
The civil parish of Kilmoon is located in the northwestern part of the county and is bordered by Rathborney to the northeast, Killeany to the east, Kilfenora to the southeast, Killilagh to the southwest, and Killonaghan to the northwest. It is divided into four townlands: Kilmoon East (319 acres), Kilmoon West (372 acres), Knockaskeheen (457 acres), and Caherbarnagh (183 acres).
