Not to be confused with the Tully / Coghlanstown just south of Kildare, although this extract appears to do so!

"COGHLANSTOWN, (or Cotlanstown, or Tully), a parish in the barony of South Naas, in the county of Kildare, province of Leinster, Ireland, 2 miles W.N.W. of Ballymore Eustace. It is situated on the river Liffey, and the road from Kildare to Castledermot. The living is incorporated with Ballymore, and forms part of the corps of Kildare bishopric; in the Roman Catholic arrangement the parish is included in the union of Kildare and Rathangan. A house of the Knights Hospitallers existed here, of which some interesting ruins remain. In this parish lived General Sarsfield, who acted under James II. Some curious relics were found on removing his old house."
