Noted in the Enciclopedia del románico en Aragón (Zaragoza, vol. 2, 2010). A fragment consisting chiefly of the bottom and part of the sides of a tub-shaped quasi-cylindrical baptismal font is all that remains now [June 2004] among the ruins of this abandoned church. The cylindrical basin has a marked groove towards the bottom, and may have had other ornamentation on the sides: "Junto a los pies de la iglesia, en el interior, aparece una pila bautismal de piedra tallada en un solo bloque, parcialmente rota y tirada en el suelo, sin decoración de ningún tipo."
