History and Description

A Topographical Dictionary of Ireland (Lewis, 1837)

Aghadown comprised most of the old O'Driscoll Oge territory of Collybeg.

Whitehall was the location of a Driscoll castle.

CircaEvents
????Luth Ith (ancestor to O'Driscoll) ruled the Corkalee territory.
1500'sCenturies of warfare with Sullivans, Donovans, McCarthys, and Mahonys eventually confined the O Driscoll Og clan - descended from Amlaibh (Humphrey), the son of Donnchadh Mor - to the territory of Collybeg. The Driscolls built Rincolisky Castle in Whitehall about 1495.
