One of the double-basin fonts of Brittany; made of granite, it consists of a main basin, octagonal and plain, with a chamfered underbowl, and a smaller oblong protrusion that shares the same pedestal base; the drain appears to go from an off-centre hole in the main basin through the side and out to the small basin. Octagonal wooden cover on the large basin, hinged in the middle giving access to a fully hollowed round well.
