The dial cube has sculptured sides and is mounted on a fluted hemisphere, on a square shaft and a square step, overall about 1200 high. The dial face is the top surface of the cube, very weathered but with lines still distinct, and correct for the latitude. It is mounted 180° out of true. It bears initials ’A H E D’ (Andrew Heron, Eliz. Dunbar).
