Listed and described in Le patrimoine des communes d'Ille-et-Vilaine (2000) as a 16th century square mounted font. The plain granite square basin has graded sides and appears to have the basin well divided into two. The limestone base is, by contrast, quite different, with three constructional shafts per side; these colonnettes have capitals ornamented with floral motifs, while their bases are plain except for mouldings. Flat metal lid.
