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'. Church ruins consist of upstanding walls of chancel, barrel vaulted nave and tower; measure approximately 28m by 10m in plan; ruins of original church were adapted and modified in 19th century.

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.
