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.

Old Farm, Skomer

The dial is set on a short length of stone wall with a higher pillar as a pedestal at one end. The wall is not quite exactly orientated N-S so the dial has been adjusted to take this into account by slight rotation relative to the axis of the wall. The dial plate has roughly aligned Roman hour numerals but with no subdivisions or a noon gap to take into account the width of the gnomon. It also has a simple compass rose at the centre but no labels. The gnomon is of the simple type with a diagonal brace incorporated.
