Listed and illustrated in Le patrimoine des communes d'Ille-et-Vilaine (2000) as one of four holy-water stoups originally from private chapels of the old church torn down in the 19th century. The one illustrated in the source is wall-mounted, hexagonal, irregular, with the broadest side to the wall, in coarse granit; it has a rope motif at the upper rim; the vertical sides appear to be ornamented with several arch or round motifs, though the stone is too worn to make them out.
