Described in Parrado del Omo (1993): the large cauldron-like basin has a protruding angular rim and a roll moulding a few inches below it. A document (Ibid.) at the church reads "En 1450, Arce hacía la pila del agua bendita", which may refer to the font or, more likely, to the holy-water stoup. The font stands in or near the Capilla de los Guerra o de la Asunción. Although the church is from the 16th cent., the tower and other remains are from the 13th cent. (Parrado del Olmo, 1993, p. 12)
