Cináed Ciarrge mac Cathussaig (died 776) was a Dal nAraide king in Ulaid (Ulster). He was the son of Cathussach mac Ailello (died 749), a previous king and possible King of all Ulaid.[1] He belonged to the Eilne branch of the family (in north County Antrim). He ruled from 774 to 776.
The Dal nAraide became involved in civil war during his reign and in 776 they fought a battle amongst themselves at the Battle of Sliab Mis (in the barony of Lower Antrim). That same year they engaged in another battle -the Battle of Drong. This time the opposing sides sought the assistance of their neighbors. Cináed and his ally, Dúngal king of the Uí Tuirtri (an Airgialla tribe west of Lough Neagh), were slain by Tommaltach mac Indrechtaig (died 790) and his ally Eochaid mac Fiachnai (died 810) of the Dal Fiatach.[2]
