On Bredon Hill, to the north of Park Farm and 700m to the west, is an isolated barn with a stone vertical dial which declines 12° West. It shows the hours 7am to 6pm in upright Arabic numerals, divided into half hours. Across the top a motto reads "Nunquam Reditura" (Never shall the time return). The date 1992 is in the top right under the motto. The lettering is in red, the lines are in gold on the stone ground. The root of the single tapered sheet gnomon is offset to the west on the dial-plate.
