Caomhán of Ardcavan

Saint Caomhán of Ardcavan (also Caomhán Santleathan, which some take to mean "the broad") was an Irish saint of the 7th century, who is said to have founded a church at Ardcavan in County Wexford. He is remembered on 12 June; gatherings were held at the place on his day until the 19th century. The parish of Kilcavan takes its name from him.

According to another source he was, on his mother's side, a half-⁠brother of Saint Caoimhghin (Kevin) of Glendalough. Some writings consider him the same as the priest called Caeman, but this is not proved. The settlement, called Darinish Caemhain, was raided in 819, and the Annals of the Four Masters record the death of an abbot of Árd Caomháin in 890, a sign that the small early community had grown. No other details of his life survive.
