The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle S-facing slope, within a rectangular graveyard (WI047-002----). A broken granite font with a subrectangular basin, V-shaped in section and a drain-hole, lies within the graveyard.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wicklow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
