Thanks Ryaner and Tiompan for your replies. I've not heard of the Turas before, need to read up on it/them - if its a religious observance probably wouldn't be interested. A visit would definitely be out of season.[/quote]

A lot of early christian sites / holy wells would have something like a Turas that is observed on a saints day in Ireland.

Thanks, just did a search and came up with what is probably my favourite Irish website -
http://www.voicesfromthedawn.com/glencolumbkille-turas-sites/

Interesting that it is in June so close to midsummer. I would like to do the walk but not with loads of other people.
