Listed in Bond (1908) as a baptismal font similar to the one originally at Lanmeur [cf. Index entry for Lanmeur No. 1]. The octagonal basin has tracery on the sides (a large trefoiled arch-head, small side windows to the sides, etc.) and underbowl, and a single trefoiled arch or window on each side of the octagonal stem; the splaying lower base is octagonal and plain. The wooden cover is octagonal and flat, and is provided with a small hinged trap door for access to the inner well of the basin; the well of the basin appears round but it has a lining that creates different depths with a smaller well at the bottom [NB: it is not clear whether or not the lining replicates the internal shape of the well]. The font is placed in the centre of a large tall canopy, as some are in this area of Brittany.
