She saw all the money and was busily collecting it, when the boulder slipped back in its place and trapped her underneath. The people came up to the hill to rescue her, but try as they would they could not rescue her, so it was decided to let her to her fate as nobody regretted her departure very much. The rock to this day is called "Carraigh An Sprúnluightheóra".
