Recorded monuments

• WI033-032 Font (present location)
  Description

  The font presently held in the disused RC church at Knockananna came from Ballymaghroe Graveyard (WI033-009001-) having been moved from there sometime before 1933 (Corlett & Weaver 2002, vol. 1, 188). It consists of a large, cylindrical block of granite (diam. 0.68m; H 0.56m), the upper edge of which is damaged, containing a roughly circular basin (diam. 0.48m; D 0.21m) with a drain hole (diam. 0.035m) which exits the side of the font from where a linear groove (Wth 0.035m; D 0.05m) extends down the side of the stone (L 0.14m). On the outer edge of the font are two opposing crosses, both carved in low relief. One (dims. H 0.46m; Wth 0.19m) is formed by a low (H 0.02m; Wth 0.05-0.08m) raised band. The top of the second cross is missing (H 0.3m; Wth 0.18m), where the top of the font has been damaged. It is similarly defined by a low raised band (H 0.015m; Wth 0.06-0.08m).
