Font in Killinure (upperwoods By.) — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Killinure’s limestone font witnessed Penal-era courage when priests carried baptism to open fields at Burke’s Cross. The shallow subcircular basin, no deeper than a child’s forearm, still holds the shape of water lifted for infants under risk. It is not a grand monument, but a small vessel marked by restriction, movement and continued faith.

Not marked on the 1841 and 1909 editions of the OS 6-inch maps. Originally in use in Killinure R. C. church (LA011-023), it was moved during Penal times to 'Burke's Cross' (LA011-005-) where Mass was said in the open (Carrigan 1905, vol. 2, 152). A limestone subcircular font (Dims NW-SE c. 0.65m, NE-SW c. 0.75m, D c. 0.23m) with central draining hole. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 17 December 2007
