The National Monuments Service's description
An architectural heritage assessment report carried out in 2011 recorded that the ‘medieval font was uncovered in the 19th century on the site and is currently positioned on a 19th century pedestal at the rear of the nave’ (Lotts 2011, 31) in the 19th century church of Ireland church dedicated to St. Etchen. This medieval font originally came from the medieval church (WM020-0128001-), the partial ruins of which are located immediately to the E of the present 19th century Church of Ireland church.
