thumb|Tulsk Cemetery Tulsk () is a village in County Roscommon, Ireland. It is 19 km north of Roscommon town, on the N5 road between Strokestown and Bellanagare.
==Heritage== Near Tulsk is Cruachan, an Iron Age (Gaelic) royal palace. As recounted in the Táin Bó Cuailnge, it was the home of the Irish warrior Queen Medb (or Maeve), who was responsible for launching the Cattle Raid of Cooley. Archeological surveys have shed new light on the significance of the site and the 60 National Monuments found in the surrounding area. The results of archaeological surveys, carried out by John Waddell of the National University of Ireland in Galway, are incorporated into the exhibition rooms at Cruachan Aí Heritage Centre. The book Rathcroghan, Co Roscommon: an archaeological and geophysical survey in a ritual landscape, by John Waddell, Joe Fenwick and Kevin Barton, details the features and information about the Celtic royal site of Connacht.
