What is recorded here

Canon Island, County Clare: A plain limestone font sits in the SW doorway between the Augustinian church and cloister. Its circular basin, quarter metre across, still holds the shape of baptismal water. One broken corner suggests age, handling or time. Small and unmarked, it remains the centre of the house's holiest act.
