Stone baptismal font consisting of a large cylindrical basin with a rounded underbowl, raised on a round pedestal base and a circular plinth; there is no decoration on any part of the font but the upper rim has been grooved, perhaps to accommodate an earlier font cover. No font cover present. The font is located in the south side apse, which would not have been its original location. [NB: the nearby Ermita de Santa María is in ruins and there is no font visible in it now, if ever there was one]
