- My home is in the townland of Oldcastletown, parish of Kildorrery and barony of Condons and Clon Gibbons. The family name most common is Coughlan. The houses in this locality are mostly thatched ones. The townland got its name from the fact that it contains an old castle and at one time it also contained a town but this has long fallen into decay.
