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

What is recorded here

The highly decorated Romanesque font now in the Roman Catholic church at Carrick-on-Bannow originally came from Bannow church (WX045-045009-) (Tuomey 1850, 201). It is complete (H 0.87m) and was probably made from Dundry stone but is now painted white. It has a rectangular base (dims 0.6m x 0.61m; H 0.26m), a plain circular stem (diam. 0.48m), and the rectangular basin (dims 0.62m x 0.59m; H 0.4m) has banded decoration that is similar on two sides but different on the other two, and shows Anglo-Saxon influence. (Corlett 2012) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1996). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload/revision: 19 August, 2013
