The National Monuments Service's description
Outside the SE wall of a house (MA023-014008-) on Bailey Mór mound (MA023-014003-).
Françoise Henry (1945, 135) uncovered this burial in 1938 during the excavation of the house. It was an extended human skeleton, and lay at about the same stratigraphic depth and on the same NE–SW orientation as a burial (MA023-014025-) found beneath the floor within the house. Another burial (MA023-014026-) found within the house was at a higher stratigraphic level and on a slightly different orientation.
