Welcome to Clan Cian's Eile O'Carroll Website. All of us involved in Clan Cian hope that you find our site a reliable and exciting source for the illumination of Irish history and of your place within it. This history is centered around the Eile (Ely) O'Carroll Territory, in Counties Tipperary, Offaly and earlier parts of North Eile, in Counties, Leix and Kilkenny, Ancient Ormond, as well as other counties where the Cianachta dwelled. We hope you will become involved so that this shared heritage may not be lost, but instead spread out across the world like the Wind that Shakes the Barley.
Clan Cian was also known as the Cianachta, Race of Cian, who was the youngest Son, of Olioll Ollum King of Munster, and Grandson, of King Eoghan Mor 1st (known as) Mogh Nuadath de Leith Mogha (Mogha’s Half) of southern Ireland of the Milesian race of Heber, who contested for supremacy of all Ireland in the second century of the Christian Era.
