Dunree-Dunrioga\/The royal fort and a monastic site are situated on the headland but due to centuries of blown sand from the adjacent beaches all archaeological features have become covered over, especially during the \u201c Night of the Big Wind\u201d(1839). The group would like to complete a ground survey of the area using \u201cground radar\/magnetometer\u201d type equipment to discover the extent of the previous archaeological features. This site \u201c Dunrioga\u201d is as it says \u201cRoyal\u201d it is the only \u201croyal\u201d site that we know of in Inishowen and as such deserves a place in our Coulture\/ Heritage that has been neglected somewhat overlooked. Some location signs have appeared in the area naming it \u201cDun Ray Wee\u201d (Speckled\/) which is completely ficticious and misleading to people on the \u201cWild Atlantic Way\u201d The Group hopes to rectify this \u201cmistake\u201d and give the \u201c Royal Headland\u201d its proper place in History.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>West Inishowen History &amp; Heritage society with a Licenced archaeologist from local archaeological consultancy office will oversee the project with volunteers from the locality. \u00a0John J.
