Moore Hall, or Moorehall, the house and estate of George Henry Moore and family, is situated to the south of the village Carnacon in the barony of Carra, County Mayo in a karst limestone landscape. The Moores were an aristocratic Irish family who built Moore Hall between 1792 and 1795. The first Moore of Moore Hall was George Moore, a name borne by many members of the family down the generations. The Moores were originally an English Protestant family but some became Catholic when John Moore married the Catholic Jane Lynch Athy of Galway, and when their son, George, married Katherine de Kilikelly (really Kelly), an Irish-Spanish Catholic, in 1765.〔''The Moores of Moore Hall'', by Joseph Hone; Jonathan Cape, London 1939〕〔(''George Moore, 1852–1933'' ) by Adrian Frazier, Yale University Press.

Several members of the Moore family played major parts in the social, cultural and political history of Ireland from the end of the eighteenth century to the early twentieth century. The house was burned down in 1923 by anti-Treaty irregular forces during the Irish Civil War because Maurice Moore was viewed as pro-Treaty.〔(Moore Hall, Co. Mayo ), ''North Atlantic Skyline''.
