It is made of limestone ashlar and stands about 1.25 metres high. The sundial features well-crafted lettering on its copper face, which rests on a medieval leaf capital. The shaft is a twisted baluster from the 17th century, and the base consists of two mill stones. Overall, it is a successful composition.
