BRIDOL is the British Sundial Society's Register of Fixed and Mass Dials, which gives detail and photographs of about 8000 fixed sundials and 3000 mass dials in the UK.

Some of these are in private gardens, but the majority are publicly available.

St Patrick’s Ballyargan RC Chapel, Mullaghglass

Mottos read: "Memento Mori", "Years following years steal something everyday. At last they steal us from ourselves away" and "This plainly shews to foolish man that his short life is but a span". The dial shows 4am to 8pm in 30 and 15 min marks, and uses XII and IIII, with a split noon. Hour lines are marked by an additional ’X’, and half hours by two ’X’s. The numerals are read from outside the dial. There is décor in the lower spandrel. This dial is similar to another by the same maker at Lissummon, SRN 5867.
