The baptistery and the church of Sainte-Marie are listed in Mérimée [ref.: PA00099268]: "Site archéologique et substructions d'un sanctuaire primitif [...] Vestiges [...] Le site contient les édifices ruinés de la chapelle et du baptistère, ainsi que les substructions d'un sanctuaire primitif. L'église de Sainte-Marie de Riscanone, édifiée au 5e siècle sur le site d'une ville romaine, aurait été reconstruite et agrandie entre le 6e et le 9e siècle. Son aspect définitif doit dater du 12e siècle. A quelques mètres de l'église, fut construit au 12e siècle le baptistère octogonal de Saint-Jean-Baptiste." Noted with some illustrations in Norbert Breton's 2021 Premier millénaire [http://millenaire1.free.fr/408_7_2B_35_valle_di_rostino_baptistere.html#1] [accessed 12 September 2022] [cf. BSI entry for Valle-di-Rostino No. 1 for the actual baptistery]. The baptismal font [cf. ImagesArea] is cruciform in shape inside and outh; it is in rather ruinous condition.
