Tadhg Mór ÓSíothcháin a bhí mar ainm ar duine aca. Do bhí duine aca ag gabháil le Dream an Uair ó Chiarraighe agus Tadhg Mór ag gabháil le Dream an Uair ó Chorcaig.
Do chuaidh an bacach Tadhg Mór abhaile chuig a mhuintir tráthnóna agus dubhairt leó, “Anocht ar an gcnocán sin thall,” ar seisean, “a throidfear an troid is mó dár troideadh riamh i gCléire. Má bhuadhann mo thaobh-sa, beidh dhá chos agam-sa amáireach, agus gan aon chos ar an duine eile.” "Go deimhin, a Thaidhg,” ar sa athair, "ní fhágfaidh tusa an áit seo anocht.”
Idir a athair agus a mháthair a chodail sé an oidhche sin. Ach nuair a dhúisigheadar ar maidin bhí Tadhg imthighthe. Ghabhadar amach agus chonnacadar Tadhg ar an gcnocán gan briseadh ná brúghadh air ach é slán folláin agus dhá chois air ag rinnce. Roimhis sin glaodhtaí “Cnocán an Tobair” air, ach ó shoin i leith glaodhtar “An Iomaire Ruadh” ar an gcnocán san.
