Baptismal font of stone said to be originally from the ruined parish church of San Juan in the same locality; the basin is roughly hemispherical decorated on the outside with a convex ribbed pattern all around, whereas the interior is round and plain; raised on a squat round base decorated with ball motifs and a long moulding-like motif. The inner drain hole appears now blocked by a big rock.
