What is recorded here
Drumfea font is a rectangular granite basin with an outlet, set beside the church in County Carlow. Water likely filled it, overflowed, and carried away what people wanted removed from the body or memory. The stones still perform that simple ritual: receive, release, and refuse to remember the name of what left.
Rectangular granite font with outlet, beside church (CW020-002001-).
