The National Monuments Service's description
There is a record from 1969 of a possible font from the graveyard attached to St Bridgid’s Roman Catholic at Ballinacree (SMR file). There are no dimensions and it had a concave basin, but no drain-hole. It is likely to have been a stoup and it is no longer present.
