Nobody knows exactly where. When the site was inspected in 1987, the graveyard was heavily overgrown with vegetation, and the pieces have never been formally located within it. The font fragments remain on record, noted but unfound.

The graveyard belongs to a medieval church known, according to the Ordnance Survey Letters of 1839, as Teampall na Ratha, meaning the church of the rath. A rath is a ringfort, the circular earthwork enclosure common across early medieval Ireland, and in this case one sits approximately thirty metres to the north of the church, close enough to have given the entire complex its name. The association of early churches with older earthworks is not unusual in Ireland; sacred and secular landscapes often overlapped and accumulated meaning across centuries. The baptismal font itself was recorded by Moore between 1874 and 1879, who noted that the graveyard of Rath was, even then, not much used. A baptismal font in a rural medieval church would have been the site of the central sacrament of Christian entry, and carved stonework of this kind, even in fragments, represents considerable skill and intention. That these two pieces survive at all is something; that they cannot now be found within the site they were recorded in is another matter entirely.
