What is recorded here

Now situated on a pillar at the back of R.C. church in Edenderry but said to have come from Monasteroris (OF011-009007-), medieval octagonal shaped font (max W. 0.4m,H. 0.35m) with circular basin (D. 0.25m, diam 0.33m). Diagonal tooling on its outer faces indicating a 12th or 13th century date. Inscription on one face of the font reads 'MF O S F 1290', which is probably a later addition.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
