They were divided into two groups: The main being chiefs of Cineal Fearghusa, a territory around Tullaghoge or Tullahogue in County Tyrone (Tir Eoghain), and the other being chiefs of Cineal Tighearnaigh in County Derry, where their presence is recalled by the place called Ballyagan (there is another Ballyhagan in Antrim). It was the hereditary privilege of the O’Hagans to inaugurate The O’Neill at their seat of Tullahogue (along with the O’Cahans). http://members.aol.com/lochlan2/odugan.htm The Topographical Poems of John O'Dubhagain and Giolla Na Naomh O'Huidhrin Edited by John O'Donovan 1862 Printed for the Irish Archaeological and Celtic Society, Dublin NOTES TO THE PART OF O'DUGANS POEM RELATING TO ULSTER 74.
