The National Monuments Service's description
In the NW sector of the summit of Bailey Mór mound (MA023-014003-).
Françoise Henry (1945, 140; House F) recorded ‘an enormous heap of slabs’ at roughly this location, which she interpreted as the remains of a house of corbelled drystone or ‘beehive’ construction. She noted that ‘its roof may be practically intact, but other slabs have fallen from adjoining structures and made it impossible to clear an entrance…; there are at least two other houses [MA023-014010-; MA023-014012-] on both sides of it.’ (Ibid. 140). A cross-inscribed pillar (MA023-014023-) stands close to the location.
National Monument in state ownership (no. 379).
