Michel Claveyrolas writes: "Les fonts baptismaux sont identifiés comme romans par Jean George et Alexis Guérin-Boutaud. Il s'agit d'un monolithe en forme de demi-barrique. Deux échancrures diamétralement opposées sur la margelle servaient à maintenir l'axe d'un couvercle divisé en deux parties." Monolithic baptismal font, a tall bucket-shaped basin resting directly on the ground; totally plain; there is large notch at the upper rim, probably related to the anchoring of an old cover; the present cover, round, flat and plain appears modern.
