A few minutes elapsed - the roar of a Canon was heard and King OConnor's head was severed from his body.
   There was a song composed on his death
   Seamus O Hoca 'tis you did betray
   And left us in bondage 'till this very day.
   etc. etc

   After the Bawn at Ballintubber had fallen into ruins there were held each year in the grounds surrounding
