This pillar dial stands a few yards to the SE of the porch.
It is strictly a prism dial with three square faces (South and 60 degs either side of S) and three gnomons each present but badly rusting. Time marks are absent except on the S face where XI, XII and I can be seen. The dial stone is mounted on a market cross type cylindrical section shaft 3300h and is surmounted by a stone finial (250h) which is somewhat greater than a hemisphere but less than a sphere. The whole stands on a substantial square block plinth.
