Font in Monasteroris

Now situated on a pillar at the back of R.C. church in Edenderry but said to have come from Monasteroris (OF011-009007-), medieval octagonal shaped font (max W. 0.4m,H. 0.35m) with circular basin (D. 0.25m, diam 0.33m). Diagonal tooling on its outer faces indicating a 12th or 13th century date. Inscription on one face of the font reads 'MF O S F 1290', which is probably a later addition.

A medieval octagonal font, likely 12th- to 13th-century in date, originally from Monasteroris and now displayed in Edenderry, is of typical Romanesque style and may have been associated with an early monastic or parish church in the area. Its relocation reflects the historical reuse of ecclesiastical monuments in later church buildings.
