   But Eamon's faithful friend came to the rescue and shot Lee dead. Both then escaped from the house.

   The price on poor Eamon's head was very tempting. One summer's day while asleep in a field at Curraheen Holyford his head was cut off by his cousin who put it in a bag and took it to Clonmel to claim the reward. At Ardmayle bridge he met a man who said "Did you hear the news Eamon A'Cnuic was pardoned yesterday by Maud of Dundrum". "Oh, God" said the man with the bag "and I have his head here". In disgust he threw his head into the Suir. It was later recovered and buried in Ardmayle. His body is buried at Curraheen, Holyford. A white-thorn tree marks his last resting place.
   "The mountain Cavern is my home high up in the crystal air
   My bed is the limestone iron ribbed and the brown heath smelling fair".
