On top of a marble stand, in the SW corner of the porch of the 19th-century Friary church in Killarney. The stoup is heptagonal in plan and rectangular in elevation. There is a shallow depression in the centre of the upper surface. The rim of the stoup is worn. In correspondence with Leask (OPW), Capt. D. B. O'Connell (SMR file) wrote of receiving the stoup from a lady in Killarney in 1937. It had been removed by family members from Innisfallen Island (KE066-072----) when work was being carried out there in the 1890s. It was recorded by O'Connell as being '8" in height x 7" in width' with the depression '3" in diameter x 4" in depth'. Its record number at its original location is KE066-072003-.
