Drumkeeran Church is of standard Board of First Fruits form. High quality craftsmanship was clearly employed in the detailing of this church. Decorative embellishments include the windows and their stone surrounds, cut stone elevations and date plaque contribute to the artistic and technical significance of the structure. The surrounding graveyard, with carved grave markers and boundary walls and wrought-iron gate, contribute to the church's setting.
