Life

On 5 June (old style), the Martyrology of Donegal records Lean of Cill Gobhail. A note says a Cill Gabhail lies between Eas Ruaidh and Dun na nGall in Tir Aedha, with no church there now. The same day also carries the name in the Martyrology of Gorman. No life or deeds are recorded, and the cult stayed local, without synodal canonization.

Commemorated the same day June 5
