The National Monuments Service's description
The possible base of a medieval font belonging to Killadoughran Church (WM008-090---) is located to the E of the church ruins lying on the surface of the graveyard (WM008-090001-). The carved stone has a small central perforation surrounded by a raised quatrefoil with two carved circular mouldings with pointed (rose) projections. In 1975 it was recorded that a medieval font located on the lawn to the SE of Drumcree House had been removed from Killadoughran graveyard (ASI Field Report 1975). This font could not be found at Drumcree House and its present whereabouts are unknown.
