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.

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.
