What is recorded here

Originally located within Culmullin church (ME043-017----) (Cogan 1862-70, 2, 351), it was moved to a place by the path through the graveyard (Roe 1968, 112-3), and has now been moved to the lawn of Culmullin House (ME043-018001-), c. 265m too the SSE. It is a plain octagonal font (dims c. 0.6m x. c. 0.5m; H 0.56m) but the sides are of uneven length (L 0.18-0.29m) and create an oval basin (int. dims 0.44m x 0.35m; max. D 0.2m) with a wave-like rim. The lower panels (H 0.32m) are set slightly back from the upper but they are vertical, and there is a central drain-hole.
