The National Monuments Service's description

It was not possible to identify any specific area as the 'Larganakilla Graveyard' marked on the 2nd and 3rd editions of the OS 6-inch maps. The location is pasture land on high ground E of the Glenna river.

The above description was derived from the 'Archaeological Survey of County Donegal. A description of the field antiquities of the County from the Mesolithic Period to the 17th century.' Compiled by: Brian Lacey with Eamon Cody, Claire Cotter, Judy Cuppage, Noel Dunne, Vincent Hurley, Celie O'Rahilly, Paul Walsh and Seán Ó Nualláin (Lifford: Donegal County Council, 1983). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated.
