What is recorded here

The locked ground floor of the tower of Skreen church (ME032-047003-) has a sandstone font, which is damaged but appears to be rectangular with chamfered angles (dim. c. 0.6m; H c. 0.5m). However, it morphs into a circular form at the bottom of the basin, so that the panels on the large sides appear to be D-shaped, suspended from the rim.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record ME032-047009
