Ballymoe

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.
