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).

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)
