Strange half hexagon shape to dialplate with date at top in centre of what would be the hexagon. The dial is incised at low level into the dressed stone of the south wall of the building. It shows 6am to 6pm in hours. Numerals 6-8 and 4-6 orthogonal to hour lines 9-3 in line horizontally. Two gnomon support holes close together near root.
