Life

Cahalan O Corcran (Cathalán ua Corcráin) was an Irish abbot who died in 1001. The surname Ó Corcráin was borne by at least two unrelated families; he probably belonged to the Fermanagh one, a Brehon family, since his obituary in the Annals of the Four Masters calls him abbot of Daimhinis, that is, of Devenish Island. Nothing else is preserved. The sources show no veneration as a saint.
