Very large, irregular and roughly oval granite holy-water stoup located just east of the doorway, inside the chapel; its size -120 cm long- is totally out of proportion with the size of the building and the usual design of wall-mounted stoups, giving the impression that it may have had a former use and was re-used when the chapel was re-built.
