What is recorded here
Presently located in the yard of a farmhouse (see GA041-003----), this lugged font (max. base Wth 0.38m; Wth at top 0.46m; H 0.35m) may have been originally located at ‘Ross Abbey’ (GA041-047----), which lies c. 670m to the NNW. Only the bowl (base Wth 0.1m-0.28m; Wth at top 0.3m; D 0.28m) survives. It was fashioned out of a single block of limestone which is now in three fragments as a result of shattering during a spell of severe frosts.
