On the day, as agreed, he arrived on horseback and O'Connor arrived on foot with his ally Conal MacGeoghegan. During their parley, Mackworth frequently showed the two men a parchment but refused to let them read it. He began to leave, but O'Connor sprang from the high ground, grabbed him around the neck and dragged him off his saddle to the ground. Mackworth put the parchment in his mouth and started to swallow, to stop O'Connor and MacGeoghegan from reading it. The men pried his jaws open with their hands, and upon reading the parchment, O'Connor discovered it was an order from the Queen for Mackworth to capture and kill him. O'Connor and MacGeoghegan killed Mackworth for his deception.
