Westropp (1900: 129) reports "a projecting holy water stoup" protruding from the reconstructed north wall of the conventual church [Westropp read his paper to the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland, of which he was a fellow, on 29 April 1899]. In Westropp's plan of the convent [ill. on p. 129], the stoup is located about half-way down the north wall. [cf Index entry for Killone No. 1 for a baptismal font in the same church]
