Life
Murchon of Cill Murchaid is a saint named on 12 June in the Martyrology of Tallaght, with the name Murchon only and no further detail. The day follows the Julian calendar.
According to O'Hanlon he was probably linked with Cill Murchaid (Cill Murchon) in Corann, County Sligo. The O'Clerys suggest that he may be a Murchu of the race of Conall Cremhthainne, son of Niall of the Nine Hostages. The Martyrology of Donegal asks whether this day is the festival of Murchu of that race; in the appended table the word Morcus follows Murchu. Nothing more is known of his life. He is honoured in the Irish calendars, with no synodal canonization shown in the source.
