The National Monuments Service's description

Situated on an E-W rise in a low-lying position, and in the loop of a small stream that runs W-E outside the graveyard at S and returns SE-NE on the NE side of the subrectangular graveyard (dims c. 80m N-S; c. 40-45m E-W) defined by masonry walls. The parish church of Errigal Trough (MO003-018002-) is within the graveyard. Most of the headstones, dating almost exclusively to the 18th century and dominated by those of McKenna, have been recorded (Taylor 1892-1900; Mulligan et al. 1987), while a more recent survey by Irish Graveyard Surveys is displayed at the entrance on the W side. Two corbels with carved heads from the graveyard were moved to Favor Royal, Co. Tyrone (ITA 1943), but the graveslab of Prior Tullius Kena (MO003-018007-) dated 1698 is no longer visible in the graveyard.
