This was classified in the SMR (1987) and the RMP (1996) as an 'Font', however, this is actually a stoup which is a receptacle for holy water, originally positioned immediately inside the entrance doorway on one or other side. Described by Carrigan (1905, vol. 4, 120) as, 'a granite holy water font, with rectangular cavity 9 in. by 8 in. and 2½ in. deep'. Associated with Clonamery church (KK033-021001-), it is not incorporated in the walling of the church. It is currently located 0.3m outside the church, close to the N jamb of the W doorway. It consists of a roughly dressed sub-rectangular granite boulder (dims. 0.39m x 0.37m; H 0.28m) with a carved rectangular basin (dims. 0.23m x 0.2m; D 0.07m) which splays in towards the base (dims. 0.13m x 0.12m).
