A stoup, in its original function, was a small basin fixed near the entrance of a church, allowing worshippers to bless themselves with sanctified water as they crossed the threshold. This one, however, is no longer mounted in any wall. It sits on the ground, displaced from whatever position it once occupied.

The block is rectangular, measuring 60 centimetres by 35 centimetres and standing 39 centimetres high. Carved into it is a basin with near-vertical sides, roughly 39 centimetres across at the top and narrowing only slightly toward the base, with a depth of around 15 to 16 centimetres. The base of the block is rough and uneven, and the rim has been worn and damaged at either end. Notably, there is no drain hole, which is sometimes a feature of later stoups and its absence here may reflect an earlier or simpler tradition of construction. The whole piece is granite, a stone widely used across County Wicklow, and its relatively plain, functional character suggests it was made for use rather than display. Whether it was always in the chancel or moved there at some point after the church fell into ruin is not known.
