Fews Lower (from Irish na Feá/Feadha, meaning 'the woods')[2][3][4] is a barony in County Armagh, Northern Ireland.[5] Its lies in the center of the county, with an enclave lying just to the south-east. The main portion is bordered by four other baronies: Armagh to the west; Oneilland West to the north; Orior Lower to the east; and Fews Upper to the south. Fews Upper and Orior Lower also border the enclave to its north and west, with Orior Upper to its south-west.[5] The Fews Mountains run through both Fews Lower and Upper, the highest peak of which in Fews Lower is, Deadman's Hill, which stands at 1,178 ft.[6] Fews Lower and Upper formed the barony of The Fews until it was sub-divided.
