The National Monuments Service's description
Medieval baptismal font was probably taken from medieval church site (WM023-026----) in the post-medieval period and moved down to St. Kenny's [St. Canice] holy well (WM023-024---) where it served as a possible penitential station. See WM023-024001- for description of medieval font.
