It shows hours VI - XII - IIII - VII, read from the outside, with a noon gap and divided to half and quarter hours. At the north is ’Glenveagh Castle, Donegal / 55 02 N 7 38 W’. Inside the chapter ring is ’The wise old owl lived in the oak, the more he heard the less he spoke, the less he spoke the more he heard, why can’t we all be like that bird.’ Around the south of the plate is ’Willie Brady - Glenveagh Gardener 1972 - 2003’.
