What is recorded here
According to Bradley et al. (1986, vol. 1, 79-80), the font stands in the porch of a 19th-century church, in a graveyard (KD029-011004-). A cylindrical granite stone (diam. 0.77m; H 0.47m) contains a bowl (diam 0.54m; D 0.25-0.26m) which is almost straight-sided and has a flat base with a central circular drain-hole (diam. 0.09m). The rim of the bowl is flat but has broken away at one point and was subsequently replaced with concrete. It is possibly 12th-century in date.
