Stone font

Located at the bottom of the undulating E-facing slope of a drumlin. A bullaun stone (dims 0.6m x 0.45m; H 0.35m) with a single basin (diam. 0.25m; D 0.05m) is against a field bank at ESE on the perimeter of the ecclesiastical enclosure (MO032-004003-) and just E of the site of the burial ground (MO032-004001-).

Probably dating to the early Christian period, the stone font may have been used for baptism or ritual washing. Such stones are often associated with local saints or early monastic sites, and may have had both religious and communal significance.
