Described in Chamoso Lamas (1973) : "Une cuve de 1 m 15 sur 0 m 33, circulaire et perforée de haut en bas, destinée peut-être à des ablutions". What appears to be a plain holy-water stoup, located between the font and the entranceway; it consists of a plain cylindrical basin raised on a plaing round pedestal base. There is a third object [was this the one Chamoso Lamas was referring to?] located by the pre-Romanesque interior window inside the church; it appears to have some reticular or lozenge-shaped patter on it.
