What is recorded here

A sundial, described by Macalister (1916-17, 168, no. 93) as a slab, 2ft 1in (0.63m) by 1ft 3in (0.38m) by 3in (0.07m) with a gnomon not drilled the whole way through. There was a complete circle around the gnomon, divided into gradations (twelve in each semicircle) as though the stone was intended to lie prostrate. The circle was divided in two by a diameter with small crosses at each end. The present location of this sundial is unknown. Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 3 November 2015
