The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a knoll towards the top of a W-facing slope. This is the parish church of Crosserlough or Kildrumferton (CV032-007001-) is within a circular graveyard (diam. c. 54m NE-SW; c. 50m NW-SE). The graveyard is defined by a drystone wall (at E: Wth 1m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.4m) with mature deciduous trees and material accumulated against its inner face. A masonry wall retains the rising mound of the neglected graveyard along the roadside SW-NW. There are relatively few headstones, dating largely to the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
