What is recorded here
A plain font is kept in the porch of the present church on the site of the medieval church of Dunboyne (ME050-021001-). It is rectangular (ext. dims 0.54m; H 0.4m) with a circular, flat-bottomed basin (int. diam. 0.4m; D 0.17m plus). It has hollow chamfers at the angles, so it appears octagonal from above and the form morphs to circular at the bottom (diam. c. 0.4m). (Roe 1968, 115)
