What is recorded here

This font was located inside the medieval parish church of Culmullin (ME043-017----) (Cogan 1862-70, 2, 351), but it was moved to a place by the path through the graveyard (Roe 1968, 112-3) and later it was on the lawn of Culmullin House (ME043-018001-) (Moore 1987, 151). The font is now in St Martin’s Roman Catholic church at Culmullin. It is a plain octagonal font with an irregular shape (ext. dims 0.55m x 0.46m; H 0.56m). The sides are of uneven length (L 0.18-0.29m) and this creates an oval basin (int. dims 0.43m x 0.36m; max. D 0.21m) that has a wave-like rim from wear. The lower panels (H 0.32m) are set slightly back from the upper but they are vertical, although some are damaged, and the central drain-hole is blocked.
