One
of Dungiven's main attractions is the Augustian Priory,
founded in 1100AD, which contains the ornate 15th
century tomb of Cooey-na-gall, an O'Cahan Chieftan,
who died in 1385. The tomb is extremely detailed and
is considered one of the most extravagant examples
of these type of monument. The Priory occupies a very
picturesque location on a 200ft precipice above the
River Roe, a must for any visitor to the borough.
