What is recorded here

According to Carrigan (1905, vol. 1, 196), the 'square cut-stone base, and circular shaft, of Coolcraheen baptismal font, are now in Conahy chapel yard, having been removed thither from the old church [KK010-058001-] by Canon Hogan, P.P.'. These fragments of the font could not be located when the church yard was visited in 1987. According to local information the font was broken when the church was being renovated in the 1960s and the fragments were buried.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record KK010-083
