What is recorded here

Oldconnell House still keeps a ruined church font at its front. The granite basin may have washed babies, hands or instruments before the church fell, and the house gave it a new purpose instead of letting it vanish. Its small drainage hole suggests repeated use, while its movement from graveyard to garden suggests people wanted to remember the church without rebuilding it.
At the front (E) of Oldconnell House. A square granite font (L 0.65m; Wth 0.65m; H. 0.45m) has a circular base with rounded corners and a central drainage hole. It probably came from the now ruined church (KD023-011----) in the graveyard (KD023-011001-) immediately W of Oldconnell House. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 23 May 2012
