A very large holy-water stoup (?) located at the west end of the nave, to the north of the western entrance; it consists of an octagonal basin, plain but for a graded underbowl, raised on a plain octagonal pedestal base and a splaying lower base, also octagonal. The basin well is octagonal and very large, and has no drain hole. This stoup (?) has metal staples for a cover, precisely at the points where the basin has cracked and broken. Unlike the somewhat similar basin at the Château de Kerjean, in nearby Saint-Vougay [cf. Index entry for Saint-Vougay No. 2], this basin does not have any fancy ornamentation on the sides, although they both may be of the same date, probably the 17th century, and perhaps from the same workshop.
