Sixth century. Both published and unpublished copies of the Tallagh Martyrology assign the 1st day of January as a festival to Ossene, of Cluana Mor. This is the name of a parish and townland in the ancient territory of Cianachta Arda, It is known as Clonmore, in the present barony of Ferrard, county of Louth. Ossein, son to Ceallach, of Cluainmor-Fer-n Arda, according to the Martyrologies of Marianus O'Gorman and of Donegal, was venerated on this day. This saint flourished at an early period, since St. Columkille founded or repaired Cluain-mor-fernarda, in the territory of Bregia,and placed St. Ossin, or Osseneus over it (O'Hanlon).
