ballymore

Ballymore is situated almost 5 miles from Mullingar on the R390. Mentioned in the Annals as far back as the eight century, its importance in ancient times was due to the fact that it lay on the trade route between royal "Uisneagh" and Athlone.

The remains of a fort dating from the Williamite campaign can be seen beside the lake, as well as Father Dalton's mass rock which was used during penal times.
