The National Monuments Service's description
Not marked on OS 1836 or 1876 eds. Much disturbed. A roughly circular area (int. diam. c. 26m) enclosed by a low earthen bank and traces of a narrow, shallow fosse identifiable only from W-NNW. A modern field boundary both abuts and overlies the bank from N-E-S and a very deep drain has also been cut into the site in this area. Original entrance not recognisable. No trace of 'Greaghadossan Cross' noted at the site on the OS 1913 ed. (Davies 1948, 98-9)
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
