It is the kind of object that slips through the cracks of the historical record, noticed by one researcher and then apparently forgotten by others.

A baptismal font, in the context of an early or medieval Irish church, would have been used for the ritual of baptism, typically carved from a single block of stone and sometimes decorated with simple Christian motifs. This one bears two crosses carved in relief on its exterior, positioned directly opposite one another. Liam Price, writing in 1959, noted that part of the rim had been chipped away, suggesting either accidental damage or deliberate defacement at some point in its history. Beyond that observation, recorded in a brief précis of his reference, very little else is documented about this particular piece.
