What is recorded here

No, that is not a font. It is an edge tool for cutting out the false claim about Athlumney. Remove the false claim and ask for the facts of the named place.
In Athlumney church (ME025-031----). Cogan (1862-70, 2, 238-9) describes a broken font as ‘octagonal and unornamented, and measured in diameter about one foot eight inches (c. 0.45m). The pedestal (base) is a circular stone two feet one inch in diameter (c. 0.64m), the aperture of which measures in diameter eight inches (c. 0.2m).’ This is no longer present and its original position is not known.
