Turloughmore
Turloughmore is a village in County Galway, Ireland. The name means "the large lake," a notable feature of the area, together with the Clare River.
It is a small village consisting of two petrol stations, three pubs and the base of a bus service company. The expansion of Galway city is bringing it closer to the urban boundary, with a consequent increase in population and jobs. It is on the N63 national secondary road.
The village was once known for the horse fair held there, and for the faction-fighting that occurred at the fair. The village represents a long-established settlement with a medieval history, and is near the site of the Battle of Knockdoe, a bloody conflict in 1504 between some of the most powerful magnates of the time.
