This now lost stone is described in some detail by Miss A.M. Crellin in Volume 2 of Yn Lioar Manninagh, 


"There was a somewhat curious large rough stone, about three feet every way, weighing several hundredweight, in a field on the Michael Glebe, between the Vicarage. and the sea, known as "Corneil-y-Keillagh." The old people called this black fixture a "font," and it was one of their favourite walks on Sunday afternoons to go and see this "font," which, for many years, was partly built up into the hedge of the field. When the late Rev. W. Hawley was vicar, he gave some members of this Society permission to take it out for the purpose of examination, but although there was a small groove in it at one end, evidently water worn, it presented no appearance whatever of "font," and certainly could hardly have been used for that purpose. It is curious what gave rise to the name "font," but the field in which it was, being called "Corniel-y-Keillagh" (corner of the chapel), is not without significance. The stone, after lying some time in the field, and being, probably, in the way of the plough, was, by Mr. Hawley’s orders, split up into flakes, and these are now thrust back into the gap in the hedge whence it came."
