Described in the Dictionnaire des églises.. (1966- ) simply as a Romanesque marble stoup. Corbel (2000: 154) describes and illustrates it, with date in the mid- Middle Ages; he also identifies the stone as granite, not marble. It is partly built into the eastern wall of the nave. This is probably the one listed in Palissy [ref.: IM65000900] where it is identified as medieval and made of granite, with measurements "h=42;la=48;pr=39".
