According to GenUKI:

A cemetery of half an acre was formed in the parish in 1874 to supplement that in the parish churchyard. Which would the church of St Columba.

The Cornwall archives site is very complicated, & I couldn’t find what I was looking for.

The 1857 & 1858 burials are transcribed from church records so the burials are in the graveyard of St Columb Minor. The plan of the graveyard should be with the church, there's a phone number here
