The National Monuments Service's description
A holy water stoup associated with a church (WI019-018001-) and graveyard (WI019-018002-). Described in the Ordnance Survey Letters of 1838-40 as 'there is a stone 60 pounds weight, with a small basin, 8 inches [0.2m] diameter and 3 [0.07m] deep cut into one end of it. This was a holy water vase and appears to be of great antiquity. Near this lies part of a square baptismal font (WI019-018003-)' (O'Flanagan 1928, 94).
