What is recorded here

On a natural rise overlooking Cleggan Bay to the N and immediately to the SW of a roadway. Indicated and named 'Sun Dial' on the 1898 re-survey of the OS 6-inch map. No visible surface trace survives. It was probably associated with the former coastguard station located to the SW.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record GA022-052
