Turloughmore

Turloughmore (/tɜːrlɒxˈmɔːr/ tur-lokh-MOR; Irish: an Turlach Mór, meaning 'big lake'[2]) is a village in County Galway, Ireland.

The name means "the large lake," a notable feature of the area, together with the Clare River (Abhainn an Chláir).

Turloughmore lies on the N63 national secondary road.

It is a small village consisting of two petrol stations, three pubs and the base of a bus service company.

The village represents a long-established settlement with a medieval history, and is near the site of the Battle of Knockdoe (Irish Cath Chnoc Tua), a bloody conflict in 1504 between some of the most powerful magnates of the time.
