At the front of St. Mary's Roman Catholic church in Monknewtown is a font (ME019-018----) from the old church at Monknewtown (ME019-019----) and a font which was moved here from the parish church at Dowth (ME020-019----). The font from Dowth is an octagonal stone (dim 0.75m; H 0.52m) tapering towards the base with a circular basin (diam. 0.57m; D 0.17m) that has a wavey rim, rising to peaks at the angles, but it lacks a drain-hole (Roe 1968, 124-5).
