SIPA [IPA.00007653] [www.monumentos.pt/Site/APP_PagesUser/SIPA.aspx?id=7653] [accessed 23 May 2017] reports this as a stone holy-water stoup without mentioning a date for it; it consists of a small roughly hemispherical basin decorated with a large moulding at the upper rim, standing on a circular pedestal base with a round-to-square lower base; the stem and lower base may be older than the basin. The stoup and two fonts [cf. Index entries for Leomil No. 1 and No. 2] are now [April 2017] oddly positioned as a group inside the church.
