What is recorded here

A circular granite basin (ext. diam. 0.92-0.94m; int. diam. 0.48-0.51m; D 0.23m), possibly an unfinished font, is set in the ground on the site of the church of Carrick (WX045-036001-). There is no evidence of a drain-hole, and the flat upper surface of the rim (Wth c. 0.2m) has 8 or 9 shallow hollows (diam. 0.12-0.16m; D 0.03m). The purpose of the hollows is not known, but it may be connected to the quarrying and carving of the stone.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record WX045-036003
