Termon House
Termon House, an 18th Century land agent's house in Maghery, near Dungloe, is located in the heart of the Gaeltacht area. The property is situated directly on the seashore and consists of the house and adjoining barn within a three acre plot - a typical Donegal rural settlement as it was at the moment of abandonment in the mid 19th Century.
Its setting on the spectacular Donegal coast makes it a striking and beautiful property.
Termon House was built by the Marquis Conyngham in the 1770s for his agent, but archaeological remains in the immediate surroundings (an old lime kiln and the remains of a clachan) indicate a much older occupancy.
Termon House has a stormy history. Local anecdotes and archaeological evidence present a picture of absenteeism, land clearance, and emigration.
A beautiful and unique defensive Famine Wall still surrounds the house. The wall, a unique vernacular structure, was built around the house as the final public works project designed to alleviate suffering during the famine in 1847.
