What is recorded here
This black commemorative plaque records: Sundial: Look up! Dating from the early 1700s and restored in 2023, an unusual, triple-faced sundial is set on a small roofline platform. The east face covers early morning, the central midday and the west late afternoon. The sundial accurately indicates local solar time, which may differ by up to 1.5 hours from the time on your watch during British Summer Time. Recorded plaque organisation: Kilmadock Development Trust.
The triple-faced sundial dating from the early 1700s is an exceptional example of historical timekeeping technology, accurately indicating local solar time and reflecting the advanced craftsmanship of its era.
