No names, no dates, no epitaphs; just stones set into the earth to mark a presence. The earliest legible headstone here carries the date 1704, which gives a floor to the recorded history of the burial ground, though the site almost certainly predates it. The graveyard itself is modest in scale, roughly 60 metres east to west and 35 metres north to south, enclosed by a stone wall along the northern boundary and by an earthen bank on the other three sides.

The Church of Ireland parish church of Nohoval sits near the western end of the graveyard and carries a slightly complicated history in its stonework. There was a church on this site in repair by 1615, and another reference from 1699 describes it as having been "lately repaired", suggesting a building that repeatedly fell into and out of use. The antiquarian Samuel Lewis, writing in 1834, described it as a "small neat edifice, without tower spire or bell". What stands today contradicts that description almost entirely: a rectangular structure of mid- to late-nineteenth century appearance, fitted out with a two-storey tower at the western end, a shallow chancel at the east, a lean-to vestry along the southern wall, and three pointed-arch windows in both the north and south walls. Whether the fabric was substantially rebuilt after Lewis visited, or whether later additions transformed the building beyond recognition, the current structure reads as a different church from the one he saw. Several large dressed limestone blocks lean against the southern wall, their origin and purpose unrecorded, quietly anomalous against the otherwise tidy stonework.
