Life
The entry for 11 December (old style) in the Martyrology of Donegal names Nadfraoich. The text calls him a bishop. The Life of Brigit names Nadfraech of the men of Tuirbhi as her lector and preacher. Among the calendars consulted, only the Martyrology of Donegal records the name. Little else is known, and no synodal canonization is recorded.
