What is recorded here

Donadea holds two fonts because the estate and church grew around an older faith rather than replacing it. The granite basin at the graveyard wall belongs to the buried church, while the newer church keeps its own font inside. That duplication suggests baptism continued through building, decay and rebuilding instead of stopping when the first structure fell.

At the W wall of a graveyard (KD009-014004-) W of the 19th century Church of Ireland church which houses a second font (KD009-014005-). The graveyard also contains the ruins of an early-17th century church (KD009-014001-) which may be on the site of an older church. A moss-covered rectangular granite piece (ext. dims. L 0.74m; Wth 0.68m; H 0.33m; int. dims L 0.43m; Wth 0.35m; D 0.2m) contains a drain hole in the base (diam 0.09m).
