Life
Cillen appears in the Martyrology of Donegal on 16 January (old style). A later hand adds that the martyrologies of Gorman and Tallaght name Nennethus or Nennius of Leithderg, in Inis Muighe Samh on Lough Erne, on this day. Among the calendars consulted, only the Martyrology of Donegal records the name. Little else is known, and no synodal canonization is recorded.
