Termonfeckin Castle

Map Reference: O143803 (3143, 2803)

Termonfeckin Castle dates from the 15th/16th century. It is a rectangular three-storey building with the entrance in the NW wall. A fragment of a 17th century bawn protects the doorway.



A spiral stairway in the NE corner rises to roof level. There are two chambers at the ground floor. The larger chamber is covered by a barrel vault. There are garderobes at the first and second floors in the S corner. The width of the castle contracts sharply above the first floor so that the S corner now appears as a projecting tower.



At the second floor there is one large room and the garderobe. It is covered by a very fine corbelled vault.
