Loch Gabhair (Lagore) meaning "Lake of the Goats" is a townland in the parish of Ratoath, Ireland. It is located between the villages of Ratoath and Dunshaughlin in County Meath, Ireland.
Lagore is also home to the Lagore crannog, the Irish royal residence of the 7th to 10th centuries.
During excavations of the site a number of bronze items were found, including weapons and brooches, (see the Lagore Brooch), which can now be found at the National Museum of Ireland in Kildare St., Dublin, Ireland.
