The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a rise on the NE-facing slope of a NW-SE drumlin ridge. The parish church of Lurgan (ME039-067----) is within a D-shaped graveyard (max. dims c. 52m E-W; c. 50m N-S) defined by masonry walls (at N: Wth 0.45m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 2.2m) which retain the mound of the graveyard. The graveyard has some trees and headstones dating from 1725 to 1967. One piece of a doorjamb (H 0.52m) with an external chamfer and internal door rebate is used as a grave-marker in the graveyard and a rectangular mortuary enclosure with no headstones is attached to the NW wall of the church.
