Ciarán attends the Óenach Tailten at Lugnasad and works many miracles. For instance, a man who had just sworn a false oath is suddenly afflicted with an ulcer on his neck. His head falls off and the man continues to walk without it. After the óenach, the headless man, described as in bacucc (?, cf. Ambacuc), dwells for seven years with the monks of Clonmacnoise.
