The National Monuments Service's description
Reference to a font here (Comerford 1886, vol. 3, 282). In gently undulating countryside. No visible surface remains. At Loughshinahawn there stood a Mass-house beside which there was a stone holy water stoup, used in this chapel which was to be seent here until quite recently (Comerford 1886, vol. 3, 282).
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Laois' (Dublin Stationery Office, 1995) compiled by P. David Sweetman, Olive Alcock and Bernie Moran. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
