Previous employer closed retirement acct. Received dist check for Roth 401k. What would be the penalty for keeping the money instead of rolling over to Roth IRA?

My previous employer closed all of their retirement accounts.  I received a distribution check for my Roth 401k.  I didn't realize that there was a check in the envelope; just assumed it was another monthly statement.  I missed the 60 day window to rollover without penalty.

If I decided to keep the money and not roll it into a Roth IRA, what would my penalty be?  I've had the plan for more than five years, but I'm under 50yrs old.
