What is recorded here
Drumcondrath Font stands outside St. David at Siddan, its rectangular sandstone body and circular basin waiting for water that no longer flows through them. It travelled from another place to become a marker rather than a vessel, preserving the shape of rituals already forgotten. The empty basin does not lack purpose; it records the moment human life stopped turning that stone into a living tool.
The font from Drumcondrath (ME006-012003-) is now outside the Church of Ireland church of St. David at Siddan. The sandstone font is rectangular (ext. dims 0.58m x 0.58m; H 0.46m) with chamfered corners (Wth 0.12m) and under-panels, and a circular, flat-bottomed basin (diam. 0.47m; D 0.27m). There are holes on the rim for a cover. (Roe 1968, 114)
