Noted in Valle Barreda (2009) as a baptismal font, possibly Romanesque, decorated with a roll moulding on the upper rim of the otherwise plain basin. It may date from the time of the church fabric, late-12th or early-13th century. Described in the Enciclopedia del románico [www.romanicodigital.com] as being of uncertain date [="La pila bautismal, de cronología incierta, se sitúa a los pies de la nave bajo el coro. La copa, de 110 cm de diámetro, es lisa y sólo presenta un bocel en la embocadura, mientras que la basa es circular decorada con doble moldura. Su altura es de 75 cm."]
