What is recorded here
Now situated on a pillar at the back of the R C church in Edenderry but said to have come from Monasteroris church (OF011-009007-). Medieval octagonal shaped font (max. ext. Wth 0.4m; max. H 0.35m; diam. of bowl 0.33m; D 0.25m) with evidence of diagonal tooling on its outer faces which indicates early medieval date. Inscription on one face of the font reads 'MF O S F 1290', which is probably a later addition.
