On-site notes: two objects located now near the exit of the former monastery, now a museum; one of the objects appears to be a small font or large holy-water stoup, consisting of a square basin with the sides of the underbowl cut roughly in a diagonal (or simply broken off); the inner well appears round; the basin is raised on a plain cylindrical pedestal base. At the time of our visit [24 June 2005] there was what looked like the basin of another stoup or font sammed upside-down into the first basin. [NB: we have not been able to get information on either object].
