Termonfeckin or Termonfechin (Irish: Tearmann Feichín, meaning 'Féchín's church land')[2] is a small village and townland in County Louth, Ireland.
[1][3] Tradition suggests that a medieval monastery was founded in the village by Saint Feichin of Fore in the 7th century.
[citation needed] In medieval times it was a royal manor, possession of which might be granted to Crown servants in good standing, as in 1361.
[citation needed] Tourism also contributes to the local economy, and nearby Baltray and Seapoint, with their coasts and golf courses, attract visitors.
[citation needed] Bus Éireann route 168 serves Termonfeckin several times a day (but not Sundays) linking it to Drogheda, Duleek, Ashbourne and Clogherhead.
The extant castle in Termonfeckin is a 15th- or 16th-century tower house of three storeys, with good trefoil headed windows.
This was the Primate's Castle which was used for several centuries by the Archbishops of Armagh (including Richard Creagh) as an auxiliary residence to their episcopal quarters in nearby Drogheda.
Owned by the Irish Countrywomen's Association, it fulfils many of that organisation's educational and social requirements.
