Described and illustrated in Catalunya romànica (1984- , v. XIII: 376) as a niche ["fornícula"] in the last pillar of the north corner, resembling a wall-mounted holy-water stoup; it is made of a rectangular block a part of which has been hollowed out in the form of a round-arch window with its inner well; it is decorated with a motif that resembles a cup or a fleur-de-lis. Mestre i Godes (1999: 85) describes the motif as a simple cross.
