Located off the main A6 Dungiven to Belfast road on the right hand side, the ancient Augustian Priory was founded by the O'Cahan Clan in 1100AD and occupies a pictorial site 200ft above the RiverRoe. The chancel contains the ornate 15th century tomb of Cooey-na-gall, a local O'Cahan Chieftan, who died in 1385. It is considered one of the grandest tombs of its kind in Northern Ireland.
