Cregmore (Irish: An Chreig Mhór, meaning 'big rock')[1] is a rural townland in the parish of Lackagh, County Galway, Ireland. It is 13 km northeast of Galway city centre.
Cregmore is home to a soccer club, a primary school and a golf course. The name of the locality is derived from the Irish An Chreig Mhór roughly translating to 'big rock'; a reference to a steep hill in the area.[citation needed]
