    The ass was found in the lands of Oliver Cunningham of Gortnaskehy just beside the village of Tournafulla. The tracks of the ass are visible in the rocks(I have often seen them) and in the driest of seasons they are full of water, I was told, and this water is supposed to be a cure for sore or inflamed eyes. She called it "Bloody Toor", or Tour na Fola. The name Gort-na-skehy, the garden of the briar, may obtain its name from the briar which the saint released from the donkey, and which is growing through the solid rock where the tracks are.
