This large equatorial sundial is located below road level on a bricked area in the centre of the roundabout a few hundred yards from the shopping area (access is via a pedestrian underpass). It shows 6am to 6pm in half and quarter hours, with a rod arrow headed gnomon. Black rods mark the hours and half hours. A description is given in a plaque below the dial.
