The people say that Fionn Mac Cumhail had a great fight with Oscar the brave on Shee Beg. It was Fionn Mac Cumhail who won the battle and there was a cave near where the battle was fought. Fionn Mac Cumhail said "As it was at this cave I won the battle with Oscar I will make it my resting place anymore." So since that Diarmuid fought a battle with Fionn for Grainne on Shee Mór, Diarmuid won the battle.
