Stop while traveling from Dublin to County Meath

A slight detour, but just NE of Navan, is Dunamore Round Tower and ruins of a 16th Century Church -- http://www.megalithicireland.com/Donaghmore%20round%20tower.html

Furhter along on the N3   is Kells Monastic site, which includes a Round Tower, numerous High Crosses and St Columb's House -- a stone oratory, parts of which dates from the 9th Century.   http://xeowulf.home.mindspring.com/Kells.html

 Another detour, SW of Virginia, is Loughcrew Megalithic Cemetary, just outside Oldcastle.  http://www.knowth.com/loughcrew.htm

Do you have recommendations for a stop while driving from Dublin to County Meath? We'll be staying at Ross Castle in County Meath for a few days and taking day trips to Newgrange/Hillof Tara, Trim Castle, Galway, and Belfast. However, we would love to make a stop during our drive from Dublin to the castle, but are not sure where to go (if anywhere). Do you have any recommendations?
