Scene Description: the photographer noted that the mark on the rim here matched stonemasons' marks inside the church [NB: it is very unusal for a stonemason's mark to appear on a baptismal font, if that is what this object is]

Semi-buried in the ground outside the church of the Monasterio de Puylampa is a round stone object resembling the upper end of a baptismal font basin; it is difficult to be certain of its identity as only the upper rim protrudes from the ground, and its surface is much eroded and covered in lichens. In general old disused fonts are disposed by burying them within the church or breaking them up and using the fragments as rubble in the restoration of the religious building. Many, however, are used in churchyards and rector's gardens as garden planters, when not put to other more sacrilegious uses. The remains consist of round basin with a broken through bottom; the well inside appears rather shallow for an old font; there is a notch and a hole in one part of the rim; the object could be the remains of a trough or tank used for agricultural purposes, and we have no means of dating it. The object and the church itself are now private property. The church of the monastery is dated to the late 12th century [cf. ChurchNotes].
