Deirtear go bhfuil ór i bhfolach faoi charraig amuigh i gcnoc Dhruim na Gréige. Nuair a cuireadh an t-ór i bhfolach ann cuireadh tairngí i bhfastódh sa charraig. Deirtear gur goideadh an t-ór seo agus bhí na gárdaí indiaidh na ngadaidhe agus chuir siad isteach faoi'n charraig é. Tá na tairngí le feiceail ins an charraig go dtí an lá atá indiu ann. Deirtear go dtug beirt fhear darbh aimn Searlaigh Ó Duibhre agus Murchadh Láin Mhóir as an Dumhaigh Bhig iarraidh é a thógail
uair amháin. Ní luaithe bhí an chéad bhuille tugtha aca ná tháinig tarbh mór anuas agus thug iarraidh ortha. Theich siadsan agus an tarbh in a ndiaidh agus thar a mbás a bhain siad an abaile amach. Ó'n lá sin go dtí an lá indiu cha dtug duine ar bith iarraidh an t-ór a fhágháil.
