The National Monuments Service's description
There is no evidence of the medieval parish church of Drumcondra (ME006-012001-) apart from a cross-slab (ME006-012002-) and a font in the rectangular graveyard (ME006-012004-). The font is rectangular (ext. dims 0.58m x 0.58m; H 0.46m) with chamfered corners (Wth 0.12m) and under-panels, and a circular, flat-bottomed basin (diam. 0.47m; D 0.27m). There are holes on the rim for a cover. The font is now outside the Church of Ireland church at Siddan (ME006-056001-). (Roe 1968, 114)
