Google Lens found a copy of the dolmen photo on Facebook, which says,
"AUGHNACLIFFE DOLMEN OLD PHOTO
Following our recent article on the Dolmen Portal/Tomb at Aughnacliffe (see 13th September) a reader has sent us in this photo.
It was taken at the site around 1910 and includes both locals and visitors appreciating the history of what they are standing beside."

Amazed that it is still standing. I wouldn't spend too much time underneath!
In 2017 via Hugh Rooney 34, who says,
"... The Village of Aughnacliffe in County Longford is home to the Aughnacliffe Dolmen. The dolmen gives the townland its name “The Field of the Stones”. These tombs are thought to be places used for burial, ritual and religious activities. Dating from 3800BC this is quite possibly the most unusual looking dolmen in Ireland. On your approach to the dolmen it looks as though someone has been balancing huge stones one on top of the other. As you go around the portal tomb the form and shape appears completely different from each side. This monument is also unusual in that it has two capstones or roofstones, as similar portal tombs and dolmens typically have only one."

The Aughnacliffe Post Office and Mr K. Mulligan's premises (right hand photo) seems to have been rebuilt - maps.app.goo.gl/BCW6wrqi9rAnPkPA7

There appears to be an animal (donkey) on the cricket field, on the right-hand picture, partially obscured by the non-striking batsman.

A half-assed Google search says: The Bell of Fenagh was probably made between 1050 and 1150. The Bell passed down through the centuries by the O’Rodachain’s Coarbs of St. Caillin and then on to the parish priests of Fenagh.It is presently in St Mell’s cathedral Longford.
Niall McAuley said:
St. Mel's was destroyed by a big fire in 2009 - I don't know if the bell is still there.
Niall McAuley said:
At the time of the photo, I think the bell was at Foxfield parish church: Streetview.

"How it lost its tongue" ... www.duchas.ie/en/cbes/4649698/4648296/4659014?ChapterID=4... ... St Caillin collected his annual dues for the upkeep of the Monastery, in this bell. The full of it was sufficient for the year. His greedy servant to make it hold more had the tongue pulled out of the bell, but it held no more. St Caillin cursed him and said one of his name would never prosper in the parish of Fenagh. ...

Excellent, I don't think I've ever seen a photo of Tim Healy before and now there he is with the Missus, great stuff.
