  1. Description of How the Rounds (Turais) Are Made at Molagha St Senan's Birthplace near Kilrush Co. Clare

    Share Share Post
    There are five sections of rounds
    (1st round) 9 times round a small white thorn bush.
    (2nd round) 9 rounds inside the graveyard
    (3rd round) 9 rounds again inside the same graveyard but shorter than the others
    (4th round) Then pass down through two fields to near the brink of the lake to where a flag marks the spot where St. Senan was born. Then go nine times round this flag on ones bare knees and then also pray at the blessed well near by.
