Some of these are in private gardens, but the majority are publicly available.

Down County Museum, Downpatrick

The dial is in the archives of the museum. It has a compass rose, EOT (with pictured signs of the zodiac), and noon times for various countries. Roman hour numerals are used for 4am to 8pm, divided down to one minute intervals. It is a fine nicely engraved dial with a very solid gnomon.
