Ballymoe (historically Bellamoe, from Irish: Béal Átha Mó, meaning 'ford-mouth of Mó')[1] is a village in County Galway, Ireland.
Ballymoe is situated on the western side of the River Suck that separates counties Galway and Roscommon.
The name Béal Átha Mó is derived from a fort which was built by Meabh of Connacht, under the order of Mogh.
The town is now the centre of a small rural area involved in scale mixed farming.
Raised bogs, forts and a mass rock from penal times are features of Ballymoe today.
