Granite holy-water stoup located now in the exterior of the church; it consists of a basin of polygonal shape with a rounded underbowl; the underbowl is separated from the polygonal sides by a thin moulding; the underbowl is decorated with piping or ribbing; it now stands on on a base made of a cylindrical stem and a square lower base, both plain and probably of a much later date than the basin. There is damage to the upper rim of the basin [or a notch was cut off to use it as a trough].
