Station 1 The Turas starts at the ‘Altar’ in the townland of An tSráid and in the field adjacent to the west wall of the Church of Ireland. The pilgrim can get to the station by entering the field from the main road . The altar’s stone slab is probably a megalithic tomb pre- 2200 BC; it was also used as a mass-rock during penal times (c.1650-1750).
