What is recorded here

There is a subrectangular granite font (ext. dims 0.8m x 0.74m; H 0.2m) set in the ground inside the W end of Ballyconnick church (WX046-008001-). It is unfinished since the rectangular basin (dims 0.48m x 0.48m; D 0.17m) lacks a drain hole. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 16 August, 2013
The font in Ballyconnick is a subrectangular granite baptismal font, likely dating to the early medieval period, and reflects a simple, functional design typical of rural ecclesiastical sites in Ireland. Its unfinished appearance suggests it may have been abandoned or repurposed, and it is associated with the church at Ballyconnick, though specific builders or dedications are not recorded.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
