The National Monuments Service's description

Incorporated into the N wall of the porch of the RC church in Golden N of the main street. A semi-circular base for a limestone engaged pillar (H 0.16m; Wth at top 0.105m; Wth at base 0.17m). The mouldings suggest a 15th-century date for this fragment, the original provenance of which is unknown. It could have come from the medieval church (TS060-097004-) c. 100m to the W but it is very similar to pillar bases at Athassel Abbey, c. 2km to the S and probably came from there.
