What is recorded here

This sundial (L 1.46m; Wth at top 0.4m; Wth at base 0.36m; T 0.1m) is currently located in the OPW depot in Athenry, Co. Galway. When recorded by Macalister (1916-17, 167, no. 92, and plate XXIV), it was on the S wall of the nave of St Caimin’s Church (CL029-009011-) on Inis Cealtra (Holy Island), Co. Clare. It consisted of 'a slab with a hole for the gnomon, pierced through the stone, and a semicircle with five rays below it.’ See CL029-009034---- for original location.
