This is a good sundial but sadly its gnomon is missing. Hours are shown from 4am to 8pm in 30, 15, 7.5 and (in Arabic tens) 1 min marks. It has a split noon. Roman numerals are read from outside the dial and use the form XII and IIII. There is a 16 point compass and an EoT scale of Watch Faster/ Slower type; key points on the scale not observed. The dial is set on a fluted cylindrical column with an octagonal capital, square plinth and a large octagonal base.
