CLONE SUNDIAL |

This fantastic Sundial is located next to the cross inscribed stone II against the south wall of the church at Clone. The pillar is 0.95m in height, 0.30m in width and 0.10m in depth and curves inwards at the middle. The dial is semi-circular in shape 0.50m in diameter with 12 time-lines radiating from a gnomon hole 0.25m from the edge. At the top is a 0.20m diameter bump with a second gnomon hole. Not as polished as the Sundial at Kilmalkedar in Kerry but still great. For more Sun-Dials see also Ballinlena, Co. Mayo, Donaghpatrick, Co Meath, Monasterboise, Co. Louth and Toureen, Co. Tipperary. |
