What is recorded here

The font is about half an octagonal stone (dim. 0.74m; H 0.53m) narrowing towards the flat base (dim. 0.62m) with a circular basin (diam. 0.57m; D 0.2-0.26m). It has a wave-like rim which rises to peaks at the angles, but with no drain-hole evident. It is now in front of the Roman Catholic church at Monknewtown (ME019-018----), c. 75m to the NNW (Roe 1968, 124-5). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload; 16 June, 2014
