Life

Saint Aedhan of Cluain Fionnabhrach is commemorated on 1 January (old style, Julian calendar) in the Martyrology of Donegal, and also in the Martyrology of Tallaght and the Martyrology of Gorman. He is called a son of Deigill, of Cluain Fionnabhrach and of Cill Ilinleith, north of Fochard. The name survives only in the martyrologies, without synodal canonization; nothing else is known.
