The historic origins and movements of many of the principal Cork family names is conjectural, but, perhaps surprisingly, several of the most numerous are relative latecomers to County Cork. The MacCarthys, the O'Sullivans and the O'Callaghans, all of Eoghanacht Caisil stock, migrated southwards into Counties Cork and Kerry in pre-Norman times, ousted from their original lands in
Counties Tipperary and Limerick by the aggression of the Dál Cais.
