Font (present location) in Croom — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

The medieval font belonging to the parish church of Croom was described in the Urban Survey of Limerick as following; 'A rectangular deeply chamfered sandstone font of medieval date is placed in the rockery at the rear of the modern St Mary's R.C. church. It is damaged on three sides where iron bars have been affixed and because it is filled with clay it is unknown whether a drainage hole is present. The rim is also damaged and the pedestal is modern. It is decorated with two rows of moulding one of which is beaded. Dims: H. 45cm W. 65cm' (Bradley et. al. 1989, 121-2).

A local church or high cross; wider significance not recorded.
