|ShortDescription=An episode in ''Cath Maige Mucrama'' which tells of Ailill Ólomm's hostility towards two inhabitants of the ''síd''-mound Áne Chlíach and of the blemish and curse he incurred on account of this. It gives an explanation of Ailill's nickname as well as the name of the hill. | |ShortDescription=An episode in ''Cath Maige Mucrama'' which tells of Ailill Ólomm's hostility towards two inhabitants of the ''síd''-mound Áne Chlíach and of the blemish and curse he incurred on account of this.

|Summary=§ 3. One Samain night, Ailill pastures his horses on top of the hill that would come to be known as Áne Chlíach and spends the night there. On two such occasions, the hill is miraculously stripped bare, apparently while Ailill is asleep, but the third time, another Samain night, he is joined by Ferchess, a poet, warrior and seer. Ailill falls asleep, but Ferchess stands aside to watch the hill (''síd''). Ferchess sees Éogabul, the king of the ''síd'', and his daughter Áne coming out of the hill and kills Éogabul with a cast of his spear. Ailill rapes Áne (explicitly in NLI MS G 7 version), who sucks the flesh and skin off his ear, hence the nickname ''Ó-lomm'' (‘Bare-ear’) would stick to him ever since. | |Summary=§ 3.
