What is recorded here

Associated with the medieval church of Clonamery (KK033-021001-). Crawford (1925, 57) describes, 'portion of a font', which is 'of coarse conglomerate, and shows part of a basin 8 inches [0.21m] deep and about 18 inches [0.47m] in diameter. The socket is 3½ inches [0.09m] in diameter and 2 inches [0.05m] deep, cut in a slab of granite 17 inches [0.44m] by 7 inches [0.18m] and 4 inches [0.1m] in thickness'. This font was not visible when the church was visited in 2016, however, it is possibly located within the graveyard. Crawford (ibid.), also mentions a stoup (KK033-021007-) which is located outside the W gable of the church.
