Clogga is a townland situated in the parish of Mooncoin, which is found in the south-east of Ireland in the County of Kilkenny. Clogga is thought to have been given its name from the Irish word "cloch" which means 'stone'. In early records it's spelt 'Clogath' or 'Clogadh', the 'adh' signifying 'little'. So 'Little Stones' . The land would have been very stoney historically so this is probably where the name originated. It is the biggest townland in Mooncoin and has a great history.
