Comerford (1891–1895) attributes the font to St James's Church, suggesting a medieval origin, likely 13th to 15th century; made of granite, it is a simple, round basin set on a pier base, reflecting a typical monastic or parish church style; its survival in a friary church context indicates its reuse and historical continuity in the Castledermot religious complex.
