The dial is in the walled garden. The cubical block with four dial faces stands on a baluster style pedestal on a cylindrical base decorated with three cupid(?) faces and floral swags. The belly of the baluster bears a spiral ribbon possibly engraved with ’. . . HAST TR . . . WELLER[?] THE . . . HE SHALL NE . . . EN BUT NEVER T . . .’. The whole is topped with a figurine, possibly of a dancing faun. The faces use upright Arabic numerals, with hour lines and half hour lines. The south face is inscribed ’A S O’ across the top.
