On-site notes: chalice shaped font, one of four early fonts, probably from nearby abandoned churches, now being displayed in the cloister of the cathedral of Burgo de Osma. The basin has very large and deep ribbed pattern on the outside; there is a groove in the centre of the upper surface of the rim. The basin has a central drain hole. The base is a separate piece, round, and, unlike those of the other three fonts in this cloister, it appears to be the original,
