Inside the ruined church of the abandoned village is a large rectangular vessel with plain tapering sides; the badly damaged object lies partly embedded in one of the outer walls of the recint. It resembles the 'oil fonts' of the Pyrenees [Jaca is in the Aragonese Pyrenees]. The font and its location in the church are somewhat similar to the one at nearby Larrosa de Garcipollera, also in ruins.
