Not an object, not a structure, but an absence; the place where a font once stood before it was moved roughly 200 metres to the west, to stand outside St Brigid's Church. What remains at the original site is essentially a location preserved by local tradition rather than by stone or mortar, which makes it quietly odd. Most holy objects are remembered for where they ended up, not where they began.

A font in this context would typically be a stone basin used for baptismal or holy water, and such objects were often associated with early ecclesiastical sites in Ireland, sometimes predating the formal church buildings that later inherited them. Local tradition at Kilbride holds that this graveyard was the font's first home, and that the font now positioned outside St Brigid's Church was moved from this spot at some point in the past. The distance involved is small, a short walk across the landscape, but the act of displacement is enough to leave one site charged with significance and the other holding only the memory of it.
