Brow Head: (above and below) on the right is the Napoleonic-era Signal Tower; the other buildings date mainly from the time of the Marconi Telegraph Station, taken from a different angle than the sketch above

THE O’h-Aodha family (anglicised O’Hea, Hay, Hayes, and Hughes) derives its name and descent from Aodh (or Hugh), the ninth son of Cas, who is No. 91 on the “O’Brien, Kings of Thomond” pedigree. They were formerly Chiefs of Muscry-Luachra, a territory in the barony of Coshlea, co. Limerick, whence a branch of the sept removed into Carbry in Cork, where they became possessed of the lands called Pobble-O’Hea. Dr. O’Donovan says that Muscry-Luachra bordered on Sliabh Luachra, in Kerry; and that the river Avonmore had its source in this district. | |||

The Coghlans are probably of pre Celtic stock. They had been vassals to the O’Mahonys later were aligned to Richard Boyle, Great Earl of Cork and had at least one estate in Carrigaline in their own right. Later many were clergy in the Church Of Ireland and intermarried with local gentry.

Charles is probably of the same line as Jeremy/Jeremiah Coughlan, Attorney, Seneschal, agent 1700 with Andrew Crotty of the Devonshire estate in East Cork and Waterford. He was related by marriage to the Durrus Evansons. Another branch of the same family were granted estates by the Boyles in Carrigaline.
The Coughlans probably pre date the coming of the Celts to Ireland.
