On-site notes: a very battered hemispherical-shaped basin now used as holy-water stoup; it may have originally been a font; it has four protruding animal heads at 90-degree angles, some too eroded or damaged for identification; between them are roundels of a large vine; below those is a flat moulding on which appears to be carved foliage, again, much eroded now.
