This circular stone dial, with gnomon slot, will be found at the falconry. It shows 4am to 8pm in hours and half hours, with full length hour lines and small marker peripheral lines for half hours. Lines earlier and later than 6am/pm do not go to correct edge of gnomon. No Noon line split. Crest and date at South end. Marks at very S edge may be maker’s name. The maker was the cousin of George Washington who farmed at Brington.
