Described by Enlart (1902) as octagonal without a base and dated to the 12th century. The monolithic font has an irregular polygonal shape at the top, one of the sides being much longer than the others giving the impresion that it was intended to be agaist the wall; the position of the font in an alcove or chapel in the north wall of the nave does not permit access to all its sides; the sides facing southwest and southeast have each an encircled Maltese cross on them; the inner basin is round; there are traces of old font cover hardware in the upper rim of the basin, but no cover present now [August 2015].
