The dial is heavily covered in lichen making reading details almost impossible. Incised lines and numerals on sandstone ground. Single supported strip gnomon. Both gnomon and supporter have decorative protuberances. . Shows 6am to 6pm in half and quarter hours. At base of slab below the dial is a (now) illegible inscription. It includes: "..be he commoner or King..".
