Noted and illustrated in the Inventaire général des monuments et des richesses artistiques de la France / Bretagne, Côtes-d'Armor / Planguenoual, Bourg (le) (2003) [http://sallevirtuelle.cotesdarmor.fr/inventaire/planguenoual/Geoviewer/Data/HTML/IM22003233.html] [accessed 13 April 2016]: "Bénitier décoré de quatre têtes [...] granite [...] Vasque posée sur reste de colonne antique [...] Les bords du bénitier sont usés par le frottement des outils que l'on affûtaient après bénidiction par eau bénite [...] 12e siècle [...] Entrée ouest de l'église". The object consists of a bucket-shaped basin with crudely rendered human heads set at 90-degree angles on the upper basin sides; it is raised on a old fluted column that would not have been the original base. Some of the damage to the upper sides of the basin, not withstanding the comments in the Inventaire général above, could have started with the staple(s) of an old cover. The basin is large enough to have been the original font of the 12th-century church here, replaced by the late-Gothic double-font now in the church. No cover present.
