The National Monuments Service's description

Located at the foot of the S slope of Bailey Mór mound (MA023-014003-).
A circular rise of sand and stones (diam. 5m; H 1.2m on S side, 0.5m on N side). It has a light covering of grass and moss. Large and medium-sized stones protrude from and lie upon the surface. The nature of this small mound is uncertain; it is likely to cover or incorporate structural remains.
