Baptismal font of very coarse limestone(?), consisting of a hemispherical basin, plain except for a flat moulding all around the upper rim; raised on a squat truncated-cone base with a thick roll moulding all around. If there was no church here before the 16rh century the font must have been brought from a nearby abandoned church.
