From the Wikipedia article
Coagh ( KOHK; from Irish An Cuach, meaning 'the hollow') is a village in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland, five miles (8 km) east of Cookstown. Part of the village also extends into County Londonderry. It had a population of 774 people in the 2021 census. It owes its existence to George Butle Conyngham of Springhill, and was founded in 1728 when King George II of Great Britain granted Conyngham a market charter allowing the village to host four fairs yearly. It is situated within Mid-Ulster District. The village is situated on gentle, low-lying land between the Sperrins and Lough Neagh.

Background
History
The village has been an ancient settlement for several thousand years; overlooking Coagh is Tamlaght Stone, a Mesolithic dolmen erected c. 4500 BCE. The main feature of the village is Hanover Square, which was named after the reigning Hanoverian George II by Conyngham. The Coagh ambush, which took place during The Troubles, resulted in the deaths of three members of the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA). On 3 June 1991, IRA volunteers Lawrence McNally, Peter Ryan and Tony Doris were killed in the area by an SAS unit. The British Army stated that the IRA members had been intercepted on their way to an attack. Over 200 rounds were fired at the car carrying the three men.
