What is recorded here

According to Dopping’s Visitation (1682-5) the parish church of Donaghmore (ME017-034006-) was roofless but two fonts were present (Ellison 1973, 8). In the graveyard there is an octagonal font (ext. dims 0.66m; H 0.53m) with faceted under-panels and a circular basin (diam. 0.5m; D 0.26m) that is standing on an octagonal shaft (dims 0.49m x 0.47m; H 0.47m) and a square base (dims 0.66m x 0.66m) (Roe 1968, 113-14) that is now hidden.
