Life
Saint Mochiarog of Echdruim Brecain is listed on 7 May (Old Style) in the Martyrology of Donegal. Berchan is named alongside the name at Echdruim Brecain, on the border of Dal Araidhe and Dal Riada, or in Magh Mucraimhe in western Connacht. A later note suspects a female saint. The same name also appears in the Martyrology of Tallaght, Gorman's martyrology and the Félire of Óengus. Veneration is that of the medieval Irish calendars, without synodal canonization, and the sources are silent on the rest.
