What is recorded here

Conahy chapel yard holds the square base and circular shaft of the Coolcraheen font, moved there by Canon Hogan from the ruined medieval church. The basin may still lie hidden in the old graveyard, waiting to be remembered. What is visible is enough to show that baptismal water once flowed in Shanganny before the church fell and the stones wandered.

Formerly located at Coolcraheen medieval church (KK010-060001-). According to Carrigan (1905, vol. 2, 196), the 'square cut-stone base, and circular shaft, of Coolcraheen baptismal font, are now in Conahy chapel yard, having been moved thither from the old church by Canon Hogan, P.P.'. It is recorded at its present location as KK010-083----. Portions of the font may still be in the graveyard (KK010-060002-), e.g. the basin.
