What is recorded here

John O'Donovan writing c. 1837 records that a fragment of a church (RO016-123001-) survived here (O'Flanagan 1931, vol. 2, 28) situated on a level landscape towards the S edge of a plateau. Nothing survives of it now within a wedge-shaped graveyard (dims 63m E-W; 33m N-S at E to 51m N-S at W) defined by masonry walls and containing 18th-20th century headstones and one burial vault. The bullaun stone (RO016-123003-) is in the NW part of the graveyard.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record RO016-123002

War of Independence Commemorative Military MemorialMemorial · 208 yd

Explorer Tom War of Independence Commemorative Military Memorial has caught my eye in County Roscommon. I bet a memorial with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.

Queen Medb: RathcroghanLegend location · 4.2 mi

Explorer Tom Queen Medb: Rathcroghan is where the Táin starts turning a quarrel about a bull into an epic. Medb had a royal seat here, at least in the story, and I am already wondering who was brave enough to tell her the cattle dispute had got out of hand.

The Mórrígan: OweynagatLegend location · 4.6 mi

Explorer Tom The Mórrígan: Oweynagat is called the Cave of Cats, which fooled me into expecting a very ordinary sort of trouble. Then the tale sends the Mórrígan out of it during the Táin. If the cats saw her coming, I bet they made room.
