| Description: |
- This is a large commercial bronze horizontal dial set at ground level on a circular concrete pad. The dial is embossed with Roman hours in a chapter ring and delineated for quarter hours. The inscription circles the dial in an outer rim. The gnomon is standard with a bird beneath the style. However the gnomon is set about 2 inches (5cm) north of the VI-VI line. It may not matter as the dial appears to be under a tree.
