What is recorded here

Medieval baptismal font was probably taken from medieval church site (WM023-026----) in the post-medieval period and moved down to St. Kenny's [St. Canice] holy well (WM023-024---) where it served as a possible penitential station.

The font in Kilkenny West is a medieval baptismal font, likely moved from an earlier church site to St. Canice's holy well in the post-medieval period; its relocation suggests a continued spiritual use of the site, possibly for penitential practices.
