Listed and illustrated in Le patrimoine des communes d'Ille-et-Vilaine (2000) as a former column with astragal now serving as holy-water stoup; the source [cf. supra] suggests this 'recycling' could have occurred in the 16th century, at the time of the rebuilding of the original 11th century church. There appears to be some sort of round (?) motif on the upper side of the basin
