Turloughmore (/trlxmor/ tur-lokh-MOHR; Irish:

an Turlach Mr, meaning big lake) 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 Chlir).

Annla Rochta ireann (Annals of the Four Masters), on-line edition in Irish and English.

It is a small village consisting of two petrol stations, three

pubs and the base of a large bus service. 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 famous for the horse fair held there,
and infamous for its faction-ghting (see John Callaghan
(Galway). 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
conict in 1504 between some of the most powerful magnates of the time.[1][2]
