This stone font was formerly in Ballywiheen Church (Teampall Bhaile Bhoithín). It consists of a roughly circular, flat-bottomed stone basin with a central perforation in its base. The basin is 0.25m deep and a maximum of 0.25m in diameter internally. A second, roughly circular, flat-bottomed basin, now damaged, is 0.38m in diameter but only 0.8m deep internally. It, too, is perforated through the base and it seems likely that the first basin was intended to sit inside the second basin and that both probably rested on a pedestal.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne (1986), no. 981.
