Tá oirthear an Chabháin lonnaithe le 5,000 bliain anuas. Fine Uí Bhriúin, lonnaithe sa cheantar san 8ú haois AD, is ea an dream a bhfuil clann Uí Raghallaigh síolraithe uathu. Tugadh am éigin an t-ainm Muintir Mhaolmhórdha (Meán-Ghaeilge Muintir Maelmordha) orthu, ainmnithe as taoiseach acu a mhair sa 9ú haois.[1] Níor tugadh an sloinne Ó Raghallaigh orthu go dtí go luath san 11ú haois.
Creidtear gur tháinig Muintir Maolmhórdha sa cheantar sa 10ú haois. Feictear iad sna hannála Éireann don chéad uair sa bhliain 1126, lonnaithe i gcríocha beaga thart timpeall Loch Ramhar darbh ainm Machaire Gaileanga, faoi choimirce Uí Ruairc.[2]
