Clashmore (Irish: Clais Mhór) is a village, townland and civil parish in west County Waterford, Ireland.[2] The village and surrounding district are very low-lying, as the name Clais Mhór (meaning "the great hollow or trench") implies; elsewhere the land is rather hilly.[3] It is also a parish in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Waterford and Lismore.
