The dial is inscribed: "Daniel Blackman, The Farmyard, Brockton 1717". It shows 4am to 8pm in half and quarter hours, the numerals being read from inside the chapter ring and using XII & IIII. Two inner scales show the time of noon at seven locations, one of which is Port Royal (Jamaica). The gnomon has unusual double ’S’ supporters and a saddle plate securing it. An unusual 16 sided dial plate. Mounted on a sandstone pillar 1335h. An interesting dial.
