The dial stands on a downward tapering cylindrical column with a fluted top, about 900 high. It is an octagonal block with four vertical octagonal faces (N, S, E & W), with square reclining and inclining facets above and below, and between these one square small facet with hexagonal reclining and inclining facets above and below; and a horizontal top. There are dials on all available surfaces (25 dials). Hour lines are not visible. There are open-work gnomons on the N, S, E & W faces and on the horizontal dial; the remainder are missing.
