The National Monuments Service's description
In the SW portion of the graveyard (KK020-017002-) enclosing the medieval church of Clara (KK020-017001-), close to the S boundary wall. A portion of the shaft of a font consisting of a large block of polished limestone (H 0.35m, diam. 0.4m) subcircular in plan with semi-circular roll-mollings at each of its four corners. There has been some damage to these mouldings. A drainage hole (diam. 0.11m) runs through its centre of the shaft.
