Font

What is recorded here

Situated towards the SE edge of a slight ridge. Within a large oval graveyard (WI042-013002-) which may have been an ecclesiastical enclosure (WI042-013003-). In 1990 a roughly rectangular granite font was noted lying on the NE edge of the enclosure in a hedge beside the road. A field inspection in 2012 could not locate the font (WI042-013004-) which may have been covered, bcome overgrown or have been moved. Also associated with this monument is a church (WI042-013001-) and a cross (WI042-012----). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wicklow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 19 November 2012
