There's an adapter that screws on in place of the sight and has a dovetail that can take your choice of sight.

THOMPSON CENTER HAWKEN PRIMITIVE REAR SIGHT NON-ADJUSTABLE NO. 9070
As posted above, the factory replacement is #9070. They are extremely hard to find and will cost you around $60-$75. I have one unused that may get listed here next week. If you don't mind a buckhorn style, the Gun Works has one for $30. It is drilled for the TC's, but you have to finish it.
there may be one on ebay
Do you have a picture of what you are looking for? I have a fixed rear sight that T/C made, but not sure if it is what you are looking for.

Good luck in your search.
Whatever you choose understand and lower rear sight will make the rifle bash your cheek even worse. A fixed rear sight that is as high as the original looks goofie. I saw one on a Senica recently, it looked odd from across the room. Modifying the stock will be needed to make a lower sight work well. Consider that the TC looks nothing like an original rifle. Adding a traditional rear sight will not help that. The original sight is pretty good from a functional point of view.

I took a sight similar to this one, ground off the dovetail so it was flush, then drilled it to fit T/C barrel. Removed the adjustment screw and plugged it as there was enough height with a little filing on the front sight to get it on paper. The club where I was interested in shooting was willing to accept it as non adjustable.

I have one of the folding rear leaf sights from Track, sort of an English express or sporting sight. I think with a dovetail through the rear screw hole the forward decorative tail will cover the front hole on the Renegade.
I already lowered the comb a little, shouldnt be a problem to lower it a little more for the lower line of sight. I may do a silver blade for the front.

Believe this what OP may be looking for. Sold off the few I had years ago. Primitive by definition, but looked too modern in my opinion. Believe one of my nephews has one of these mounted on a rifle I gifted him years ago. Guess they have become pretty rare over the years. Not sure the 9070 part number previously listed is correct, though it could be. May make a difference as OP does searches on the internet. Didn’t check all my old catalogs.

This is the one I have pictured in my earlier post #9.
Didn’t recognize it in the fuzzy photographs, plus the ones I had did not have slots for the screws.

My camera sucks. I'm sorry for the fuzzy picture, but it is the best I could do with the equipment I have.
