Noted and illustrated in Garcia (2011) as a large and plain medieval font basin made of granite; the basin has five drilled holes into the outer upper side, probably related to the anchoring of an old cover. It is located outside, by the entranceway, mounted on a modern metal base, and appears to be used now as a fountain ["A l’exterior i a l’entrada del temple es conserva una pica baptismal, avui aprofitada com a font." source: www.andorra.ad/ca-es/recursos/pagines/esglesia_sant_serni_de_canillo.aspx [accessed 7 November 2012].
