Graveyard contains ruins of medieval church, associated with St Coleman, as marked on 1841 OS map as 'Oughabal Church (in ruins)'. Graveyard known as 'Oakvale', a probable corruption of 'Oughabal'.

A freestanding late 19th century lych gate is located along boundary wall. No paths in older part of graveyard around ruins; tarmac path layout throughout later annex; access from roadside.
