The National Monuments Service's description

Situated just S of the N nave wall of Moybologue parish church and set into the ground so that its upper edge is just flush with the ground surface. This is a rectangular sandstone font (dims 0.56m x 0.56m) with chamfers (L 0.13m) at the angles making it an 8-sided font with uneven sides. It has a circular basin with a flat base (int. diam. 0.48m; D 0.2-0.24m) sloping down to the centre.

The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
