The National Monuments Service's description
There is no evidence of the medieval parish church of Julianstown (ME028-001----), but a font, of uncertain authenticity, is in the present church (Roe 1968, 121). It is a shallow bowl (ext. diam. 0.66m; int. diam. 0.54m; D 0.14m) with the drain-hole filled in and standing on a low, expanding foot (diam. of base 0.94m; H 8cm).
