Termonn
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Termonn is a Gaelic (Irish) word meaning 'sanctuary, boundary'. Other spellings include tearmann, tarman and termondd.[1] It denotes land belonging to Irish early Christian monasteries and churches on which right of sanctuary prevailed. The word is common in many place names in Ireland.
It is derived from Latin terminus meaning 'goal, end point or boundary'. In ancient Rome, Terminus was the name of the deity who presided over boundaries and landmarks. The placement of termonns in the Irish landscape suggests they were also associated with transit at boundaries across rivers and bays. Cattle and other moveable forms of wealth were often gathered in them, as mentions of raids on termonns attest. Termonns were often marked by stone boundary markers. A famous example is Cross Inneenboy at Roughan Hill near Kilfenora in county Clare.
