Bhi gasra beag diobh i gcatair Saidhbhin agus duine darb ainm Muircheartaig a bhi i gceannas ortha. Do chuadar o Cathair Saidhbhin go Gleann Carrthaig tre an fhaillmhoir a chuadar agus go glisc mar a buaileadar le pilear a bhi ag obair ar shon Sasana. Do thugadar buille maith do. Do cuadar as san go gleann Carraig an ait a scaipeadar agus bhi deire leo. Is o gleann carrthaig a thainig creabh Mhuicheartaig agus do rugadh me ann. Do marbhuigheadh o Mhuicheartaig toisg spiaireacht.
