three crosses incised near the upper rim: Greek, processional, Greek in a circle; probably not original, but a later addition -- notice also the large notch or wedge cut into the stone, on the left; it may very well be where the anchoring for an older font cover was

Font Notes:
Ligtenberg (1915: 162) mentions some comparable barrel- or cylindrical-shaped fonts at Eenrum, Kirchhilpe [i.e., Kirchilpe], Seligenthal, Schwarzrheindorf, St-Georg Kirche in Cologne. Noted in Drake (2002), after Noehles, as a font of the 12th century. Listed in Drake (2002) as a Westphalian cylindrical font, which, which he refers to Noehles' statement that it "is the sole example of this type where there is no decorative treatment of the upper rim". The old basin is roughly cylindrical in shape, decorated with a row of deeply-carved tall thin niches resembling an blicd arcade of round arches; there are three symbols carved near the upper rim on the side where the anchoring for the new cover lock is; they are three crosses: Greek, processional and Greek in a circle, and they were probably added later during the long life of the font. It is a work of rather crude workmanship, which may suggest greater antiquity than it deserves. The font is said to have originated in a chapel at Kirchilpe, later moved to Roman Catholic church at Dorlar, where it has been raised on a modern base and provided with a new font cover.
