What is recorded here
Placed inside the S doorway of Rath church (CL025-084001-) and reused as a stoup. These are the remains of what would have been a free-standing font with a circular basin. The basin (diam. 0.34m; D 0.23m) has chamfered edges, sloping sides and a drain-hole. The font exterior is square (ext. dims. 0.43m x 0.43m) and bevels in on all sides to what must have been a central column. Just beneath the font in the doorway is another stone with a circular shallow hollow (diam. 0.13m) that would have formed part of the base. One corner of the font seems to have been cut out at some stage and replaced.
