   For a number of years Cahir evaded pursuit, but gold and treachery were employed by the Government and after many narrow escapes he was apprehended. His daring was extraordinary. The peasants tell how he used to get the shoes reversed on his horses feet often time to baffle his pursuers.

   In November 1734, more than 200 years ago, he was captured after a hot chase. He swam the River Barrow several times, though the river was deep in flood. His captors had him lodged in irons in Naas jail to await his trial in Portleix. Knowing only broken English, Cahir made his defence in his native tongue. He was executed at Portleix in August 1735, a young man in the prime of life. His den is locally called "Cahir Ruadh's Den"
