Description

The former sundial, located approximately 20 metres to the south-east of Cronkhill, is a disused structure dating from around 1802. It is made of grey sandstone ashlar and features a chamfered square shaft with a square plinth and a moulded capital at the top. The dial is missing as of the last survey. This sundial likely originated during the improvements made by John Nash at Cronkhill around 1802.
