Dial in Dyfed Area

The dial is on top of a ‘standing stone’ near the churchyard entrance. At the centre is an 8-point compass rose, labelled just to the four cardinal points, and around that is engraved ‘DIAL FOR LLANDISSILIOGOGO NOT TO BE STOLEN’. The hours are IIII - XII - IIII - VIII, read from inside, with a noon gap and divided to 30, 15 and 7.5 minutes. The dial appears to have been split along the meridian line and then rejoined, possibly with a plate underneath. The date of 1790 is believed to be authentic.
