Noted in the Enciclopedia del románico en Castilla y León (2002- ) as a baptismal font of difficult dating; it consists of a bucket-shaped basin on a cylindrical base, all plain. The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed September 2022] : "Tiene su iglesia dedicada a San Cornelio y San Cipriano y es gótica, de una nave (casi cuadrada), con capilla renacentista adosada [...] La pila es lisa y sencilla" There is also a crude holy-water stoup partially built into the wall; like the font it defies any approximate dating.
