Life

On 26 March (Old Style) the Martyrology of Donegal records Saint Cillen of Deisi Mumhan. Donegal calls him son of Tolodhran, in Deisi Mumhan. The same name also appears in Gorman's martyrology. Veneration is that of the medieval Irish calendars, without synodal canonization, and the sources are silent on the rest.

Commemorated the same day March 26
