Described and illustrated in Catalunya romànica (1984- , vol. VII: 304-305) as a monolithic tub-shaped basin of the 11th or 12th century in the now abandoned church; the basin is hemispherical and made of granite. [NB: this source (ibid. [ca. 1995 for vol. VII]) extends a wise recommendation to have the abandoned font secured to the gound to avoid its disappearance]
