The Enciclopedia del románico en Castilla y León (2002- ) notes a holy-water stoup at the nearby Ermita de Santa Lucia, described as an object 'of doubtful chronology', 94 cm tall and 40 cm wide at the diameter of the basin. The stoup consists of three parts that may not have been originally intended as a whole; the plain basin is round with tapering sides; it is raised on a plain cylindrical stem and a quadrangular lower base that has a decorative panel on the side(s); the last two parts may belong together, and the round moulding between the two brings them together. The whole has been cemented into a corner at the back of the church.
