  The Main More complex of megalithic sites includes a row of six wrecked yet impressive portal tombs standing in a 300 foot line running eastwest. There is a large portal tomb at either end of the line that faces outward. Between the two large tombs, there is a line of smaller portal tombs. Each of these is in a different state of completeness, with none of them being complete.
Also nearby is a standing stone that seems to be an extension of the line of portal tombs.
According to observers, the westernmost tomb is the best preserved. Another states that all of the tombs may have been covered by one enormous cairn.
