What is recorded here
Font in Ballyellin AND Tomdarragh stands in County Carlow, Ireland. A font is a basin for holy water, often found beside church steps or inside sacred halls. Ballyellin AND Tomdarragh gives that function a local address. People may have gathered there for baptism, marriage or quiet prayer, carrying water from one living moment into another. The name preserves a small act of care: making room for life, memory and change.
ITA Survey (1945) noted a font in church at Ballyellin.
