Life

Garbhan of Ceann Saile is listed in the Martyrology of Donegal under 9 July (old style). The text calls him a priest. The compiler places Ceann Saile west of Surd or else in the west of Ireland. The same day also carries the name in the Martyrology of Oengus and the Martyrology of Gorman. Little else is known, and no synodal canonization is recorded.
