Life
Litan, who died in 900, was abbot of Tuam in County Galway, the fifth known abbot. He seems to have succeeded Cormac mac Ciaran, but the list of abbots of Tuam is fragmentary. The next person named in connection with the monastery is from 947 and bears the title airchinneach (erenagh), so was probably not an abbot. Nothing else is preserved. The sources show no canonization.
