Monastery (Site of) — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Donchad O'Carroll founded the Augustinian monastery around 1144, likely timing its birth with the life of St Malachy. It began as a double house for monks and nuns before becoming exclusively a nunnery by 1195. Mary Hubbard surrendered Termonfeckin in 1539 and received a pension, erasing the visible trace of its earlier vitality.

The following description is derived from both the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986) and the 'Archaeological Survey of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1991). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 July 2007 Arroasian canons were established here by Donchad O' Carroll probably about the time of St Malachy, 1144-8. It appears to have been a double monastery for nuns and monks, but by 1195 it seems to have been exclusively a nunnery (Gwynn and Hadcock 1988, 324). The priory of Termonfeckin was surrendered in 1539 by the abbess, Mary Hubbard, who was granted a pension. No visible surface trace. (CLAJ 1911, 359; CLAJ 1944, 293)
