About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

The church at Derrykeighan was founded by St. Colman in the fifth century. In 1831, the church was in need of repair but some of the congregation, wanted to build a new place of worship in the nearby village of Dervock. Late one night, a mysterious explosion destroyed the building and, left with no choice, the congregation moved to Dervock.
Old headstones from the seventeenth century have been built into the walls of the ruins.

The graveyard has been closed for burials since 1958 and is looked after and maintained by Ballymoney District Council.
