The National Monuments Service's description

In the NW sector of the summit of a mound (MA023-014003-) traditionally known as Bailey Mór.
A large heap of stones and slabs was noted at roughly this location by Françoise Henry (1945, 140) in the late 1930’s. She interpreted it as the remains of a cluster of collapsed houses. This the northernmost house of the cluster (ibid. 140: House E) had two other houses (MA023-014011-; MA023-014012-) adjoining it at S. The outline of this house is not now visible.
