The National Monuments Service's description

In the Church of Ireland Church at Carrickart, built in 1895 (Rowan 1979, 168) is a 17th century marble font (DG017-021001-), 1.16m high. The upper section of the octagonal shaft is squared to a flat surface on which is carved, in false relief, the inscription: EX: DONO R:A 1681. There is a quartered coat-of-arms below. The square base has four raised bosses on the corners of its octagonally-chamfered upper surface. The sixteen sided bowl has a tapering base. According to Lucas the first church (DG017-021) at Carrickart was built in 1674 or 1675 and this has since been removed and its site is used as part of the graveyard (Donegal Archaeological Survey field notes)
