The National Monuments Service's description

Situated on a slight E-facing slope. The parish church of Drumlargan (ME043-037----) and it s graveyard (ME043-037001-) are within a larger ecclesiastical enclosure (diam. c. 170m) defined by a scarp and slight traces of an external ditch E-S, and by a curving road NW-NE, but it has been curtailed by a NW-SE field bank at SW. Burials were found in the W part of the larger enclosure in 1982 (SMR file). Archaeological testing (04E0745) on the line of the perimeter at NE failed to produce any related material (Duffy 2007).
