The National Monuments Service's description
In 2010 a graveyard survey carried out by Laurence Dunne recorded the following details: 'Boundary walls are constructed with rubble limestone built to courses and bedded in mortar and capped with ‘soldiers’ and are in excellent condition. Entry into the graveyard is gained through a single wrought iron white painted gate. The gate is set between two taller circular limestone piers with flat concrete capping. The piers are surmounted by the word Nohoval in a dilapidated wrought ironwork. Five named tombs were recorded in varying states of preservation. Five unnamed tombs were recorded in various states of preservation. All are constructed with rubble limestone. A total of forty named headstones (HN) were recorded in Nohoval graveyard. Two unnamed graves (HWN, Nos. 11 & 34), comprising an unhewn stone gravemarker and a simple iron cross, were recorded within the graveyard'.
