Glenamoy (Irish: Gleann na Muaidhe)[1] is a village in the civil parish of Kilcommon, Erris in the northern part of County Mayo in Ireland.
[citation needed] The Glenamoy bog complex is a large site situated in the north-west of Erris, incorporating both inland and coastal regions.
[6] Sea cliffs dominate the coastline and there are a number of steeply sided islands off the coast which are sometimes used for summer grazing of livestock.
[citation needed] As of the late 19th century, a number of lace schools (associated with the Congested Districts Board) operated in the broader Erris area.
[8] On 21 September 1922, during the Irish Civil War, a detachment of pro-Treaty National Army troops were ambushed by Anti-Treaty IRA forces at Glenamoy.
