They took the stag with them to her fathers fort at Anna. They had a great feast there that night. They stayed up all night singing and dancing. A party of the OConnor clan were raiding down the coast from Galway. They were robbing the Churches and Chieftains. At the mouth of the Shannon they heard that in O Flynns at Blennerville was the Treasure of a Danish ship that was captured. After the nights feasting the O Connors decided to attack the fortress. That night when the Flynns were sound asleep they attacked and killed Flynn and his wife fell side to side fighting. A huge pillar marks the spot where they were buried. The O Connors carried Eilleen off in their ship. She jumped off and was drowned at the foot of a large rock. The Treasure was never removed and still remain buried to this day where he hid it under the ruins of the old Abby.
