The name itself offers a small clue: "rooaun" likely derives from the Irish "ruán", sometimes used to describe a reddish or ruddy place, though the "More" suffix, from "mór" meaning large or great, suggests this was once the principal or larger of at least two related features in the area. Ruins designated as monuments in Ireland range widely in type, from the remnants of tower houses and enclosures to the footprints of vernacular farmsteads, and without further detail it is difficult to place Rooaun More precisely within that spectrum.

The townland name Blindwell is itself quietly evocative. Blindwells, in Irish tradition, are typically holy wells whose source is hidden or subterranean, the water emerging without an obvious spring or opening. Such wells were frequently sites of local devotion, patterns, and seasonal ritual, and a townland taking its name from one suggests the feature was once significant enough to define the entire locality. Whether Rooaun More was connected to this devotional landscape or belonged to an entirely separate chapter of the area's history, agricultural, domestic, or otherwise, remains an open question. The record exists; the detail, for now, does not.
