Font in Leixlip — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Leixlip church holds a rectangular font with a circular basin that never drained, forcing whoever tended it to carry away every last drop of water. The black gloss coat still shines on its edges, turning a ordinary vessel into a small dark mirror beneath the tower. That missing hole suggests prayer required witness, measurement and memory rather than forgetting.

In the ground floor of the tower at the W-end of Leixlip church (KD011-004003-). A large rectangular font (dims. L 0.68m; Wth 0.66m; H 0.36m) contains a circular basin (diam. 0.47m; D 0.22m) which lacks a drain hole. Coated in black gloss paint (Bradley et al. 1986 vol. 3, 318).
