The ermita is noted and illustrated in the Enciclopedia del románico [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/navarra_VIANA.pdf] [accessed 19 October 2022] but its font is not mentioned in it. An update from Andres Ortega [www.romanicoennavarra.info] [20 October 2022] informs there is no font present in this church now. Of a second ermita, San Andrés de Longar, also near Viana, only some ruins have survived; no font known in it.
