Description
The stone trough, located approximately 1 meter north of the chancel of the Church of St. Andrew, is a structure of uncertain purpose, likely dating from the 14th or 15th century. It is made of limestone ashlar and features a rectangular shape with remnants of a ridge along the upper edge of its side walls. There are iron bands positioned at the midpoint of the long sides. Locally referred to as the "monks sink," it may have had a function related to the collegiate Church of St. Andrew.
