Berchan of Cluain Aedha Aithmet appears in the Martyrology of Donegal on 5 June (old style). The name is given together with Niadh; the place lies in Luighne. The same day also carries the name in the Martyrology of Tallaght and the Martyrology of Gorman. Nothing else is known; the veneration is local and early Irish, without synodal canonization.
