Font in Piercetown (duleek Upper By.)

Font

What is recorded here

Pierce-town is an Irish free church in Meath. Its graveyard may have held a small conical font, now gone, with five ribs and a narrow top. That missing stone suggests baptism water once flowed beside buried locals, while the church still stands to pray and remember.
Within the graveyard of Piercetown parish church (ME033-019----). A truncated conical stone (diam. of top 0.32m; diam. of base 0.45m; H 0.32m) that is perforated and has five ribs on the sides and a cordon at the narrower end (SMR file, 1984) is no longer present. It may have been part of the shaft of a font. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 9 February, 2015
