From one of these Mary Gallagher of Pollsallagh aged 80 years I got the following directions for making the Turas.
- Prayers at Turas.
1. Stand on the rock facing the Turas and say Five Paters and Five Aves.
2. Go round the Turas three times and say the same prayers.
3. Say these prayers facing Tory Island.
4. Stand with your back to Turas and say the same prayers.
5. Repeat the same kneeling facing Tory Island.
6. Then touch any diseased part with the water, and touch it on the blood stains on the stones.
7. Say your beads at the old Altar in the hazel bushes. - Collector
