1200 that of Uareirghe, son of Maelmordha, son of Uareirghe Ua
Neachtain, ‘one of the noble sages of Clonmacnois, a man full of the
love of God and of every virtue, and _Cenn Cele De_,’ or Head of the
Culdees of Clonmacnois.[692]
We thus find this title of Head of the Culdees emerging in the eleventh
century out of that of Anchorite at Clonmacnois; and at Iona we likewise
find that there were Anchorites in the tenth century who occupied an
important position in the community, while a century later the same
title of _Cenn na Cele De_, or Head of the Culdees, appears there also.
The origin and position of the _Cele De_ were probably the same in both
communities.[693]
