The National Monuments Service's description
Originally from the ancient church site at Burgage (see WI005-070016- for original location record). A sub-rectangular granite block (L 57cm; Wth 50cm; H 30cm) with a sub-rectangular basin (L at top 39.5cm; Wth at top 32cm; L at base 35cm; Wth at base 24cm; D 18cm). Towards one end of the flat base is a vertical drain hole (diam. at top 7.5cm; min. diam. 3cm; diam. at base 6cm).
The rim around the basin is flat on three sides. On the fourth side the rim is lower and cruder, and a piece has broken away at one end. There is a hole (L 3cm; Wth 1.5cm; D 1.5cm) at the broken end which originally was most likely deeper. At the opposite end is another small hole (diam. 1.5cm; D 1cm). The holes may have been used to secure a lid.
