The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight E-W ridge in a low-lying landscape. The parish church of Derrypatrick (ME043-010----) is within a D-shaped graveyard (dims c. 28m NE-SW; c. 28m NW-SE) which has straight sides at SE where there is a NE-SW public road, and at SW. It is defined by masonry walls on every side except the SW where there is an earthen bank or scarp, which suggests that it may have been truncated on this side. The bullaun stone (ME043-010002-) and some pieces from ogee-headed windows are in the graveyard, while the few headstones are of 18th and 19th century date.
