Noted and illustrated in García Omedes (2009). Plain tub-shaped basin raised on a circular lower base. The font is now located at the east end of the nave, in front of the altar, obviously not its original location. The entry for this village in the Enciclopedia del románico [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/soria_CERBÓN.pdf] [accessed 24 August 2025] mentions the font in the tower space and a re-purposed Roman altar: "pila bautismal de traza románica aunque imprecisa cronología. Su copa es troncocónica y lisa, de 1,06 m de diámetro y 0,67 m de altura, y se alza sobre un basamento circular de 15 cm de alto. El templo aprovecha como pila de agua bendita un ara romana anepígrafa".
