Within the graveyard (WX015-023002-) and at the W end of the S wall of the Romanesque church of Clone (WX015-023001-) was the sundial (H 1.18m; Wth of shaft 0.29m; T 0.11m) which has a semicircular head (diam. 0.5m), but its socket (Kinahan 1883-4, 39) is now missing. It was once with the cross-slab (WX015-024----) c. 40m outside the graveyard to the SE (Ffrench 1895, 407). The sundial and the cross-slab (WX015-023006-) were moved to an OPW depot at Tintern Abbey (WX045-027001-) for safe-keeping during Summer 2018 while the church is being repaired, but the sundial is now temporarily on display in the Visitor Centre at Ferns Castle (WX015-003001-). See the attached view from the National Monuments Service Photographic Archive This is a National Monument in state ownership: No. 665.
