Feigh is a townland on the north coast of County Antrim, containing little but the hamlet of Dunseverick and its famous, ruined castle; Dunseverick Castle, for which reason, and because it is on the Causeway Coast, the townland sees many visitors.
Frequently, and understandably, Feigh is referred to by the name of the hamlet and castle, Dunseverick. The name 'Feigh' is from the Gaelic language; Faiche meaning "lawn" or "green", perhaps referring to a meadow or maidan attached to the ancient fortress. Feigh has given name to the neighbouring townland, Feigh Mountain.[1]
