The National Monuments Service's description
The following description is derived from both the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986) and the 'Archaeological Survey of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1991). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
Date of revision: 25 May 2012
Three holy water stoups (see also LH013-012002- and LH013-012003-), in or beside St Malachy's Roman Catholic church, are referred to by Davies (CLAJ 1943, 208) as medieval fonts and were included as such in the Archaeological Inventory of County Louth. The type of dressing on the stone of all three stoups and the human face on the one inside the church would suggest a post-medieval date, possibly the eighteenth century.
