The National Monuments Service's description
In 2011 a graveyard survey carried out by Ann Frykler and Robert Hanbidge of Headland Archaeology Ltd. recorded the following details: 'An unrecorded font/bullaun stone was found immediately to the north of the north elevation of the church ruins [KE009-022----] beside Grave No. 55. The font/bullaun is located close to the western edge of a large irregular‐shaped boulder and has a diameter of approximately 25 cm and a depth of c. 8 cm. The boulder appears to have been moved to its current location so the original providence is unknown this position' (Hanbidge 2011, 14).
