Turloughmore
Turloughmore ( ; ) 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'').
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-fighting (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 conflict in 1504 between some of the most powerful magnates of the time.〔''Annála Ríochta Éireann'' (''Annals of the Four Masters''), M1504.13, M1504.14: http://www.ucc.ie/celt/published/G100005D/index.html〕〔McCollough (ed.), ''Wars of the Irish Kings'', pp. 239-244.〕
