If you didn't create a filesystem on it, then it would basically be
useless, and you wouldn't have stored any data on it...

Not really. You could try:
# cat /dev/md0 | file -
which may show you what the contents of /dev/md0 is (i.e. what kind of
filesystem). If it doesn't show anything useful, or claims that
/dev/md0 isn't a device or doesn't exist, then you will probably need
to assemble the array by hand.
What does /proc/mdstat show? If it tells you about /dev/md0, then
the array is up and running and you should be able to mount it. If
not, then you will have to assemble the array by hand.
Try:
# mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1
If that complains about too few devices, try:
# mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1
(if there are any other errors, stop and tell me what they are).
