DESERTMARTIN
Is a village in the townlands of Knocknagin and Stranagard, in the
Parish of Desertmartin, Barony of Loughinshollen, Union and Quarter
Sessions District of Magherafelt, and Parliamentary District of South
Derry. It is a Railway Station on the Draperstown Railway, almost
midway between Draperstown and Magherafelt. The population returns have
been :- 1852, 33; 1861, 158; 1871, 163. In 1881 the
enumerator did not find twenty inhabited houses, and consequently the
village was not separately counted, but has been included in the townlands
on which it stands. It is claimed that there is now a population
of 129 (65 males and 64 females), residing in thirty-one houses.

DOAGH
The village of Doagh lies in a very fertile spot of the County of Antrim,
the famous valley of the Sixmilewater, about twelve miles to the
north-west of Belfast. Though the population of the village itself
can only be reckoned at about 200 inhabitants, yet it, with the immediate
neighbourhood, holds considerable importance in the commercial
world. The Doagh Flax Spinning Company and the Cogry Flax Spinning
Company Limited, alone employ about 800 hands. The Cogry Mill has
lately been enlarged and refurnished with the newest machinery, and is
fitted with electric light, as are also the very extensive bleach works
ay Springvale, the property of Messrs. John Preston & Co. Ltd.
There are several finishing works, principally for brown linens, in this
neighbourhood; also extensive scutch mills at Cogry, Fourmileburn,
Newmills, and Drumadaragh. The Northern Counties Railway affords
excellent travelling accommodation between Doagh and Belfast, and their
narrow gauge branch connects Doagh with Ballymena and Larne. There
is telephonic communication with Ballyclare and Belfast. There are
three places of worship - namely, the Church of Ireland, Kilbride;
Presbyterian, Kilbride; and Methodist, Doagh. There is a large and
handsome hall, erected in 1885, to the memory of the late James Torrens,
Edenmore, by his widow and sons, which is used for concerts, lectures,
and other functions.

DONAGHADEE
Is a market and seaport town in County Down, fourteen
miles from Belfast and six from Newtownards, by the road, situated on the
shore of the Irish Channel. It is the nearest port to Scotland,
being twenty-one miles from Portpatrick and Portlogan, the passage to
which places can be made by steam vessels in one hour and a half.
There is a beautiful and most substantial harbour and lighthouse built by
the Government for the accommodation of steam packets. Donaghadee
possesses all the advantages connected with a first class bathing place,
having a fine beach, good lodging houses, baths, and other requisites,
for the comfort and convenience of visitors, with a railway from Belfast,
Downpatrick, and Ballynahinch. Petty Sessions are held in the
Courthouse on the first Thursdays of each month. Mr. Daniel De La
Cherois, D.L., J.P., is proprietor and Lord of the manor, and a
Court-leet is held annually in May. The church, built in 1641, is a
large cruciform structure, with a lofty tower at its northern end which
was built by the late Captain De La Cherois and Mr. Daniel De La
Cherois. It is kept in good repair, and contains a number of
handsome marble monuments. The other places of worship are two
churches for Presbyterian, a Methodist Chapel, and a Roman Catholic
Chapel. At the northern end of the town is a Danish rath - a mound
of considerable height, and surmounted by a tower and fortress in
miniature, from the summit of which a beautiful prospect of the town and
surrounding country, with a distant view of the Scotch coast and Copeland
Isles, is commanded. Population in 1891 was 2,301.

DONEGAL
Which gives its name to the County Donegal (anciently
called Tyrconnell) is a pretty seaport town, about fifteen miles from
Stranorlar, and thirteen from Ballyshannon; it is connected with
Stranorlar by a narrow gauge line of rail which passes through the
romantic and picturesque Gap of Barnes, and is now connected with
Killybegs by an extension of same line. Donegal is situated at the
mouth of the Eske - a river abounding with fish of every kind - and on a
bay of the same name, and boasts of two splendid ruins - one, a well
preserved castle, in whose ivy-clad walls once dwelt
"The Lord of Tyrconnell,
Our brave Chiefs O'Donnell."
It is seated on the banks of the River Eske, as is also
the old Abbey, founded for the Franciscan Friars, in 1474, by Nuola
O'Connor, wife of Hugh Roe O'Donnell. It was filled with dead of
all creeds - perhaps of many nations - lying side by side under the now
broken arches. It is said that a subterraneous passage, about a
quarter of a mile in length, connects the Castle of the O'Donnells with
the old Abbey. A very fine sulphurous spa, within five minutes'
walk of the town boasts of waters equal to those of Harrogate, where
baths can be had, for which purpose two beautiful marble baths have been
procured from Italy. In the Diamond is situated the Arran Arms
(under the patronage of the Earl of Arran, to whom the town belongs),
one of the best hotels in Ulster. There is also another hotel -
the Commercial and Family - J. Smullen, proprietor. They afford
every accommodation, whether to visitors of the highest rank, passing
tourists, or commercial travellers. Post horses and vehicles of
all kinds are to be had on the premises. There are four principal
churches - the Church of Ireland, two Presbyterian, and one Methodist
Chapel, besides a Roman Catholic Chapel, and minor places of worship for
different denominations; whilst four or five prettily-built schools,
both male and female, under the superintendence of the National Board,
are well attended. Quarter Sessions are held every three months in
a neat courthouse. The constabulary and coastguards have stations
here; and a fair is held every second Friday in the month, the day for
the weekly market being Saturday. Drumcliffe, a public promenade,
one-half of which is sheltered by trees on both sides, while the other
half, overhanging the bay, and supplied with fancy rustic seats, offers
not only the greatest variety of scenery, but a pleasant walk in all
seasons. Many fine demesnes, belonging to the surrounding
landlords, add to the beauty of the country, the most remarkable amongst
these being The Hall, the pretty residence of the Marquis of Conyngham;
the Castle and grounds of Lough Eske, the property of General White; and
St. Ernen's, the seat of Mr. A. H. Foster. There are good grain
and flax markets in the town. The population in 1891 was 1,620

DOWNPATRICK
Downpatrick is a market town, and the seat of the Diocese
of Down, and the Assize and principal town in county Down, eighteen miles
S.E. from Belfast. The County Courthouse and the County Jail are
connected by an underground passage. Quarter Sessions are held four
times a year - namely, in January, April, June, and October, and Petty
Sessions on every alternate Thursday. The County Down Lunatic
Asylum, built in 1869 at a cost of upwards of £75,000, is situated on an
elevated plateau about a quarter of a mile from the town; it is an
imposing structure, and stands in the centre of a park of about 120
acres, commanding a magnificent view of the surrounding country; and for
architectural appearance and internal equipment is said to be of the
finest in the kingdom. New wings and other improvements have lately
been added at a cost of about £35,000, so that the institution is now
capable of accommodating 624 inmates. Quoile Quay is the port of
the town, and admits vessels of 100 tons burthen. The town was
formerly the seat of the linen trade; and brewing, tanning, and soap
boiling are extensively carried on; but there are no manufacturing
industries at present. The town is entirely dependent on
agriculture, the country around being most productive. The County Down
Railway, completed in March, 1859, connects the town with Belfast.
The Downpatrick and Newcastle Railway, opened in 1869, connects Dundrum
and Newcastle with Downpatrick; and the Ardglass Railway, connecting Downpatrick
with Killough and Ardglass, was opened in 1892. Branches of the Northern
Bank and Ulster Bank are the monetary establishments. The
"Down Recorder" (established 1836) is published on
Saturdays. Adjoining the town is Down Cathedral, a stately
embattled edifice, comprising a nave, choir and aisles, with a lofty
tower at the west end. It is furnished with a good organ, which was
in 1896 thoroughly overhauled and repaired, and there are handsome stalls
for the dignitaries. It is believed that the remains of the Patron
Saint of Ireland are interred within the walls of the venerable edifice,
and not in the adjoining graveyard as popularly supposed. The
Parish Church is a capacious and well-built edifice. The other
places of worship are one Presbyterian, one Unitarian, and one Methodist
Church; a Roman Catholic Chapel, with a handsome nunnery adjoining.
There are parochial and other schools. The town possesses a
magnificent Assembly Hall, erected in the centre of it by the Right Hon.
Lord Dunleath, the last representative of the borough in
Parliament. Fairs - First Tuesday in each month. Markets -
Tuesday and Saturday. Population of borough in 1891 was 3,901

DRAPERSTOWN
Is a post town in the Parish of Ballynascreen, Barony of
Loughinshollin, and Parliamentary Division of South Derry, situate at the
intersection of two main roads, one of which leads from Magherafelt and
runs through into North Derry and the other from Maghera to Omagh and
other towns in Tyrone. To this crossing of the roads was due the
early designation of the town. "The Cross of
Ballynascreen," until subsequently it changed to suit the
Drapers' Company. The town is situated in the centre of the
well-wooded valley of the Moyold and on the right bank of the river,
while opposite on the left bank stretches the extensive demesne
surrounding the Derrynoid House, the magnificent County Derry residence
of the Honourable R. T. O'Neill, M.P. There are various other
places of interest in the neighbourhood, which by their traditions and
varied scenery tend to give a peculiar charm to the town and
district. About three miles distant from the town, on the Omagh
Road, can be seen the ruins of the Old Church of Ballynascreen, which
according to a well-known local tradition, was founded by St.
Patrick. The names of several of the townlands around are traceable
through that tradition. The burying ground attached was almost the
only one in Ballynascreen until 1811, and was even still largely used
until 1860. Along the Mayold and tributaries are numerous corn and
flax mills and a few saw mills. The shirt trade has made great
improvement latterly. There are three branch factories, where girls
get out-work and finish it al their own homes. Both the town and
district are well supplied with schools. The population in 1891 was
484 (240 males and 244 females), but the population of the immediate
district is over 6,000, while the town is the greatest market and fair
for a large portion of Mid-Tyrone and a part of East Tyrone.

DROMARA
Formerly styled Annsborough, in compliment to a member of
the Downshire family, is a neat village, situate on the western bank of
the River Lagan, and about three miles distant from the base of Slieve
Croob, whence the river takes its rise. Dromara, which is distant
from Belfast about sixteen Irish miles, and on the leading road from that
town to Rathfriland, contains about forty-three houses. The public
buildings consist of the Episcopalian, Presbyterian and Covenanting
Churches, the Dispensary House, Courthouse, Orange Hall, and Markethouse,
which was built years ago at the sole expense of the lord of the soil,
the Marquis of Downshire. The markets in Dromara are now held on
Tuesdays, and the fairs, which are generally well attended, are held on
the first Friday in the months of February, May, August and November;
also on the first Friday after the 15th day of the months of March, June,
September and December. Petty Sessions are held on the third Monday
each month. The population in 1891 was 171

DROMORE
(DOWN)
A market town in the County Down, fourteen miles distant from
Belfast, seated on the River Lagan, and on the road from Belfast to
Dublin. The town is improved much, and is gradually being
extended. There are three factories, which give employment to a
large number of hands; and one flax and two corn mills, which also
import labour within the town boundary. The bleach mill and
bleaching lands adjoining, besides Percy Lodge, has been recently
purchased by Messrs. Murphy & Stevenson, Limited, of Belfast and
Lurgan, out of the Court of Chancery, and these gentlemen have built on
the large field, commonly known as the Holme, a large weaving factory
and a number of dwelling houses, and from a distance looks like a
village or small town. The factory is being fitted up with looms
for weaving linen fabrics, and is capable of holding 400 to 500 looms,
with necessary offices and stores. The building was carried out by
Messrs. H. & J. Martin, of Belfast, and will be lighted by electric
light throughout; in fact, a small village of comfortable dwellings has
been erected in close proximity to the factory, to accommodate the
workers. This town is rapidly improving both in buildings and
population. Mr. William Cowan Heron has contracted with Mr.
Lilburn for a field adjoining the First Presbyterian Church, and at his
own expense has built a cottage hospital for the benefit of the people
of the town and neighbourhood. The Cottage Hospital has been
handed over to a committee, and is under the superintendence of a
matron. There are at the present time some British Transvaal
soldiers, who have been wounded in the South African campaign, occupying
the greater part of the building. This is not the first benevolent
act this gentleman has given to the people of Dromore, as only a short
time ago he presented the inhabitants with a turret clock, which he
placed on the new Town Hall, besides rebuilding a schoolhouse, and also
building a teachers' residence in a townland near to Dromore. The
markets in Dromore are rapidly increasing, and there is always a fair
attendance of buyers for farm products. The Parish or Cathedral
Church has undergone various repairs and has been lately much
improved. Mr. William Gibson, of Castle Place, Belfast, erected a
splendid turret clock on the Cathedral tower at his own expense, and
made it a gift to the people of that body, it being in the neighbourhood
of where Mr. Gibson was born. The Cathedral has now been
enlarged, taking in the vacant space between the tower and north aisle,
which will enhance its appearance, besides giving more sittings, which
were very much required. The addition will cost over
£1,500. The present energetic rector, Canon Harding, is making
every effort to raise the required amount necessary to defray the
expenditure of enlargement. The church derives its peculiar
interest from having been erected by the great and good bishop the
celebrated Jeremy Taylor, and contains his remains as well as those of
the late Bishops Percy, Rust, Digby and Wiseman. The old walls
surrounding the graveyard have been completely pulled down, and a good
railing fixed in Scotch freestone; a good selection of choice
evergreens, beautifully planted within the railing, gives the edifice a
very good appearance, and improves that portion of the town. A
number of old cabins facing the wall have been pulled down, and
comfortable houses erected in their stead. The late Episcopal
residence adjoins the town, and was built in the time of Bishop
Beresford, and the trees around it were planted by Bishop Percy.
In this house resided the several bishops of the diocese up to 1843,
when, at the death of Bishop Saurin, the diocese was annexed to Down and
Connor, and the See House, now vacant, was recently in the hands of a
number of Roman Catholic clergymen, by whom the once Episcopal residence
was styled "Loyola House." Since those gentlemen left
the house it is it the hands of the caretaker. The other churches
in Dromore are two Presbyterian, one Methodist, one Covenanting, one
Unitarian, and one Roman Catholic. On the Hillsborough Road and
adjoining the town neat villas have and are being erected, enhancing
this portion of the town. Fairs are held monthly, on the last
Saturday in March, 12th May, first Saturday in August, 10th October, and
the last Saturday but one previous to Christmas. There is a market
held on Saturday and Wednesday in each week, the latter day being
principally for oats, grass-seed, and fowl. Population in 1891 was
2,359

DRUMQUIN
Drumquin is situated in the parish of Langfield, barony
of West Omagh, County Tyrone. It lies about seven miles from Omagh,
five from Baronscourt, and is nearly enclosed on all sides by hills of
considerable elevation. Its original form is "Druim
Chuinn" - ie., "Conns Ridge" - which probably indicates
its relation in early times to some of the chiefs of the Royal race of
Ulster, and more especially of Tyrone. Langfield is derived from
"Leamh Choill," signifying "Elm Wood." Drumquin
is mentioned in Irish history so early as the thirteenth century, having
been burned by the Irish under the command of Hugh O'Neill, or O'Hegney,
in the year 1211. After the burning of Drumquin these chiefs
proceeded against two castles newly built by the English, one at Clones
and one on the shores of Lough Erne, and demolished them.
Geographical relation makes it fairly probable that the site of the
ancient and modern villages are the same. Not far from the village
are the ruins of "Kirlish Castle," a memorial of the Plantation
under James I., built by Sir John Davis, Attorney-General, about 1610, in
fulfillment of conditions of a grant of 2,000 acres. John Wesley
mentions preaching at Kirlish "Lodge" in 1787, then occupied by
Alexander Boyle, and he appears to have preached in Drumquin in 1771 on a
fair day. The old parish burying ground, about a mile from the
village, is a spot of deep historic interest. The church evidently
dates from the Plantation times already mentioned, the first rector of
the parish being Rev. James Bunter, who held it - conjointly with another
parish - from 1618 till 1661. It was then called
"Lamfyll." But there are good reasons for assigning a
still higher antiquity to the burying ground. Within its precincts
are numerous memorials of deep interest. On many of the stones may
be seen the names of descendants of the great native princes, and the
"Red Hand" of Ulster, the emblem of their courage and
power. In all probability, too, Lord Audley, Earl of Castlehaven,
and father-in-law of Sir Wm. Davis, is here interred, as we read he died
at Drumquin in 1616. The neighbourhood abounds in building
materials of all kinds, and seams of coal frequently occur in the
sandstones of the western side of the parish. In the last century
and during the existence of the old mail coach service Drumquin was a
place of considerable traffic. Within the last few years it has
been greatly improved - old houses have been rebuilt, and some new ones
added. As regards general appearance and shops, it will compare
favourably with any village in Ulster. The population in 1891 was
249. It has a weekly market on Thursdays for butter, eggs, poultry,
and other farm produce, and a monthly fair on the last Thursday in each
month, which is well known over the North and West

DUNDRUM
A flourishing seaport town in the County of Down, about
twenty-two miles from Belfast, seven from Downpatrick, and three from
Newcastle, situate on the shore of the inner Bay of Dundrum. There
is a fine commodious hotel, erected by the third Marquis of Downshire,
whose family has since done much to improve the town. It is much
resorted to during the summer season by visitors. The temperature
is mild, being shut in from the open sea by picturesque sand hills of
Murlough, covered with every variety of blooming heather and wild rose,
and on which the beautiful marine residence of Lord Downshire is
situated. On an eminence above the town are the fine ruins of the
old castle, supposed to have been built by Sir John De Courcy.
There has been recently erected by the present Marquis of Downshire a
magnificent church, St. Donard, as a memorial to his father, in which
Sunday afternoon Divine Service is held, the Parish Church (Kilmegan)
being a mile distant. There are two schools under the National
Board. Convenient to Dundrum is the magnificent house and demesne
of Mr. George Allen, J.P., called Mountpanther, and the beautiful
residence (Ardilea) of W. F. James. The harbour is safe,
thoroughly equipped with steam cranes, and well sheltered. A coal
steamer plys regularly twice a week to English and Scotch ports,
associated with a number of sailing vessels. An extensive import
trade exists in coal, timber, slates, cement, patent manures, etc.,
etc.; and exports consist of granite setts, native timber, grain,
potatoes, cattle, etc. A flourishing market is held on Saturday
for eggs, fowl and pork.

DUNFANAGHY
Is a neat little post town and seaside resort in the
Parish of Clondahorkey, County Donegal, 17½ miles N.W. of
Letterkenny. It is situated on a creek or inlet of Sheephaven
Bay. Is lighted by acetylene gas, the form in which a grateful
tenantry erected a memorial to the late Edmund Murphy, who was for many
years agent to the Ards Estates. There is a pier at which coasting
vessels of small tonnage can unload at spring tides. Considerable
quantities of herring and mackerel are caught during the season; also
cod, ling, haddock, fluke, whiting and lobster; but, owing to the want
of a railway or other means of transit, the prices realised are
small. There are quarries at Ballymore, from which a very fair
description of marble can be obtained; and white quartz sand, of very
fine quality, exists in large quantities on the side of Muckish
Mountain. The beautiful cliff and mountain scenery in the
neighbourhood attracts many visitors during the season. Bathing
can be indulged in at all states of the tide. The strand is one of
the largest and safest in the Kingdom, and visitors will find it the
healthiest and most desirable resort to be had on our coasts. A
few miles from the town are the famous Horn Head Cliffs, 800 feet high,
the annual breeding place of countless numbers of sea birds. Two
miles distant is McSwyne's Gun, a sea cavern, through an opening in the
roof of which during storms immense clouds of spray are forced.
Templebreaga Arch and Poll Dhu are also objects of great interest.
A Golf Club has lately been formed, and very fine Links laid out
adjacent to the town. The Presbyterian Church, situated at the
entrance of the town, is a beautiful building, the spire and facings
being built of the native marble. The Episcopalians have also a
church and handsome parsonage. A Roman Catholic Chapel is erected
on a commanding site convenient to the town. There is a Workhouse
close to the town. In the Market Square is a handsome Courthouse,
built by the late Mr. A. R. Stewart, of Ards. There are two
National Schools. There are excellent waterworks supplying the
town, The water is conveyed to the town from a reservoir about a
mile and a half distant. There is a weekly market for oats and
potatoes on Saturday. There is daily communication with
Letterkenny by means of a mail car, and also a two horse van.

DUNGANNON,
DONAGHMORE AND COALISLAND
Dungannon is a municipal borough, market, and post
town in County Tyrone, thirty-two miles W. by S. from Belfast. It
is situated on a beautiful hill, from which, on a clear day, may be seen
with ease the fairest portion of Tyrone. It was the seat of the
O'Neills from its earliest days; and on a hill crowning the town formerly
stood a castle erected by those powerful chiefs. The ruins still
remain. Dungannon confers the title of Viscount on the family of
Trevor, of Brynkinalt, near Chirk, North Wales. The town consists
of a square and four principal, with several smaller, streets.
Courts of Quarter and Petty Sessions are held regularly. The
Courthouse has a bridewell (now closed) at its rere. The present
old registry of Dungannon Church commences at 1665 - (church rebuilt in
1869) - the registry before that having been burned, and contains a few
signatures of George Walker, the defender of Derry. The other
places of worship are two Presbyterian Churches, one Methodist Church,
and a Roman Catholic Chapel. The principal charities consist of
Shiel's Institution, a Fever Hospital, a Dispensary, and a Union
Workhouse, opened in 1841. The College, or Royal School, one of the
five regal endowments founded by Charles I. in 1628 as a Free Grammar
School, and largely endowed, was opened in 1892 under the management of
the Tyrone Protestant Board. The present building was erected in
1785 by Primate Robinson, and since then was considerably enlarged.
Dungannon collieries are more than a mile from the town, and are the
property of the Dungannon Collieries (Limited), who are carrying on
operations on an extensive scale. The principal buildings are the
Church of Ireland, one of the handsomest in the North of Ireland;
Parochial Hall, Northland Row; Roman Catholic Chapel, First Dungannon
Presbyterian Church, Second Dungannon Presbyterian Church; and Methodist
Church; Police Barracks, Post Office, Provincial Bank, Savings Bank,
Belfast Bank. Convent and R.C. Schools and Hall, Irish National
Foresters' Hall, Orange Hall, and Free Gardeners' Hall have been
erected. Trade in grain and farm produce is the most important
here. There are dye and bleach works. Earthenware, bricks,
and tiles are manufactured in the vicinity. There are several corn
mills still at work, and a good spinning mill and weaving factory.
There are also weaving factories at Moygashel, Redford, Castlecaulfield,
and Benburb, giving employment to hundreds of families. There are
branches of the Belfast Banking Company and Provincial Bank of Ireland,
and a Savings Bank. The market is held each Thursday. One of
the best grass-seed markets in the North of Ireland is held every Tuesday
in the season. The population in 1891 was 3,812
Donaghmore, two miles distant, has an ancient
ecclesiastical history, St. Patrick having built a church where the old
graveyard now stands, close to which, on the village street, is a fine
specimen of the old Irish cross. Governor Walker was rector of this
parish at the time the Protestants were driven into Derry. His
remains are interred in the Parish Church, Castlecaulfield. Wolfe,
the author of the ode on the "Burial of Sir John Moore," and
which poem was first published in the "Newry Telegraph," was
curate of this parish.
Coalisland. which is situated three miles from
Dungannon, and two from Stewartstown, is a place of some importance; an
extensive weaving factory, a large spinning mill, flour and corn mills,
and a pottery and spade manufactory are carried on near and in it, and
the Ulster Canal runs through it; one of the Company's offices is in the
town. Coal is pretty extensively raised in the vicinity. A weekly
market is held every Tuesday for agricultural and dairy produce, and on
Friday for grain.

DUNGIVEN
Originally called Duneevan, derives its name from Dune,
a fort, is situated close to the banks of the River Roe. On a
jutting rock overhanging the river, at a place known as the "Salmon
Leap," stands the old Church or Priory. Within its roofless
walls is the grave of the illustrious Chieftain O'Cahan (Cooey na gall
O'Cahan) and his seven sons. A heavy slab, on which is carved the
figure of a warrior clad in armour, covers the grave, and around the
grave and supporting the slab are a number of blocks of stone, on each
of which is carved a warrior also armour clad, and supposed to represent
his seven sons. The grave is within the most sacred precincts of
the edifice, and a window overlooks it in stone tracery, and of
wonderfully accurate workmanship. Time, and we fear a species of
vandalism had made the ruins more ruinous still, but the late Mr. James
Ogilby, lessee of Pellipar Estate, had them restored a few years ago,
and with such skill and art as to maintain ancient appearances.
When the lease expired the estate reverted to the Worshipful the
Skinners Company of London. from their trade or calling the estate
took its name "Pellipar" (Peltparers or Skinners). The
tenants of this estate were among the first to take advantage of the
"Ashbourne Act," and all but a very few are now occupying
owners. A branch of railway connects the town with Derry and
Belfast. Valuable mineral beds of limestone and freestone abound
and only await the capitalists. The famous Altmover Quarries, of
splendid freestone are wrought by Mr. W. Maginness, and are situate on
the property of Mr. E. G. Osborne, Altmover House, Dungiven, about two
miles distant. The town has three places of worship -
Episcopalian, Presbyterian, and Roman Catholic. Rev. H. G. Warren
is at the present time rector of the Parish Church, and the Presbyterian
minister is the Rev. Thomas Davison, M.A. The Northern Banking
Company has a branch office in Dungiven, with Mr. W. Temple, manager,
and Mr. Allen, assistant. The Post Office, which does Telegraph,
Money Order and Savings Bank business is in charge of Mr. J.
Fallows. Next to the old Priory the most ancient, and consequently
the most interesting building is the Castle of O'Cahan. Whilst the
main building was renovated and restored by the Ogilbys about 1840, the
outer courts, walls, and ramparts seem to be what they were ages ago, as
they stand in all their feeble strength, affording but a poor protection
if besieged. Sycamores that were then tiny plants taking root in
the walls have burst the masonry, and with revolving years have made,
what may once have been the pride of ancients now the shattered sport of
the elements. Still the Castle proper is somewhat imposing with
three strong towers. It is now in possession of Captain R. A.
Ogilby, D.L., the Squire of Pellipar Manor, whose ancestors were the
lessees of the estate. Its caretaker is the venerable Joseph
Harper. Petty Sessions are held in Courthouse monthly (third
Thursday), Mr. Thomas Mercer being Petty Sessions Clerk. A weekly market
for sale of grain, potatoes, pork, butter and eggs is held every
Saturday - Mr. J. Douglas, weigh master. A fair is held monthly -
second Tuesday of each month. Medical Dispensary open Mondays,
Wednesdays and Fridays in charge of Dr. M. Higgins. Population
about 700 in 1895.
