La actual pila benditera se encuentra a mano derecha de la puerta de entrada, encastada en la propia jamba y se compone de dos partes. La superior funciona como cubeta, de 23 cm de altura, con forma de pirámide invertida y rematada por una especie de plinto, en la parte superior. La inferior (29 cm) actúa como soporte –a pesar de hallarse encastada– y resulta de la reutilización de una basa de columna, formada por un plinto y dos toros.
