Stackpoole and Westropp (1904) write about an object referred to as "Doughnambraher Font" or "Wart Stone"; their note seems to discard the possibility that it be a font at all Stackpoole "came to the conclusion that there might be a bullaun at the spot marked". Michael MacMahon's The Doughnambraher font: relic of an ancient ecclesiastical site?, in: The Other Clare vol. 8 (1984) p. 17-18, questions whether the relic may be that of an ancient ecclesiastical site.
