Dungiven—Chancel Arch and East End(From Photograph by H. S. Crawford) St Marys Priory.—A monastery for canons regular of StAugustine was founded here by O Cathain in 1100, according toAllemande ; but it does not appear that the Ui Cathain were lordsof this district of the Ciannachta at so early a date. Echri0 Maolmuire was lord of Ciannachta until 1100, and DunchadhO Conchobhair was lord of the Ciannachta Ghlinne-geimhin until1104. The first O Cathain named as lord of Ciannachta is Raghnall Gilbert, Contemporary History, ii, 423. PROCEEDINGS 241 son of Iomhar, who was killed in 1138.
