The archdeaconry can trace its history from Colman O'Scannlain, the first known incumbent, who was mentioned in the Annals of the Four Masters as having been aircinneach (an Irish word for archdeacon) of Cloyne at some time before his death in 1179. to the last discrete holder Arthur Charles Gill. In between Thomas Wetherhead, Michael Boyle and William Steere went on to be bishops.
