What is recorded here

Armagh cathedral and its font belong to one of Europe’s oldest continuous Christian sites. The basilica preserved an unbroken worship community through conquest, reform and colonial rule. Its basin and chamber record that continuity more clearly than any grand claim.

Located at the crest of the W-facing slope of a drumlin. A possible font that has a faceted stem (diam. 0.3m; H 0.25m) expanding into a damaged basin (D 0.12m) but without a drain-hole that was in the graveyard (ME003-001001-) of Ardagh church (ME003-001----) in 1984 is now missing.
