On-site notes: a plain hemispheric basin now concreted onto a rubble base; it is now covered with a plain wooden lid; the rim has damage at opposite ends, probably caused by the old iron staples; the centre drain hole is now sealed. There is another stoup, wall-mounted on the left wall of the stairwell leading up to the church.
