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.

Mizen Head Lighthouse, Cloghan Island

The sundial sits on a pillar outside the security fencing, serving the lighthouse and fog signal at Mizen Head, Ireland’s most south-westerly point. The dial plate has weathered and no trace of the hour/minute lines remain, just the Roman numeral hour markers are to be seen. It has a massive brass gnomon.
