What is recorded here

Not listed in the SMR (1992) or the 1996 RMP. This record is for the original location of a sundial that according to Macalister (1916-17, 167, no. 92, and plate XXIV) was on the S wall of the nave of St. Caimin’s church (CL029-009011-) on Inis Cealtra (Holy Island), Co. Clare. It is now in the OPW depot in Athenry, Co. Galway where it has SMR number (GA084-151008-) (L 1.46m; Wth at top 0.4m; Wth at base 0.36m; T 0.1m). Macalister (ibid.) described the sundial as a slab with a hole for the gnomon, pierced through the stone, and a semicircle with five rays below it.’ Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 22 July 2015
