Knockroe is wonderful for the sunset. I caught it a few years ago.

Don't know where I'd go for sunrise down that way. A lot of the axial stone circles will give you a nice alignment to the sunset, though.

I was up on bawnfree hill today and only just missed the sunset at Knockroe, it looked to me like it would line up nicely. So I think that is one spot for a look.

You could go for Knockroe in the morning too! The cruciform chamber supposedly faces the winter solstice sunrise but is not as accurate as the sunset alignment. Would be great to check. Might do that myself over the hols.
