Two fonts of greenstone, said to be from a thatched chapel that formerly stood at Greenmount, were removed to the graveyard at St Mary's R.C.church, Kilsaran.
One has a sub-rectangular base which splays gradually towards an octagonal rim with chamfered angles. The basin is circular and tapers down to a rounded bottom (H 0.40m, rim diam. 0.43 by 0.4m, W of rim 0.45m, D of basin 0.16m). (For other see LH015-011002-).
