Dial in Jersey

This semicircular dial is incised into a stone block cemented to the brick chimney of the cottage. An inscription across the top reads IP 1674. The cottage is known to have been in existence at the date of the dial, but the chimney was not. The dial shows 6am to 6pm in hours, using XII and IIII. Dots separate the numerals and may indicate half hours. The numerals are aligned with the hour lines and are read from the outside. The hour lines are drawn from two concentric semicircles around the gnomon root. The simple rod gnomon is triangularly bent to form its own supporter.
