Sundial at Skeagh House, 15 Banbridge Road, Dromore, County Down, BT25 1NB

An early twentieth-century stone sundial, now situated in the grounds of Skeagh House in Dromore, County Down. Originally erected in the grounds of the Cowan Memorial Hospital to the south of Dromore in the townland of Drumbroneth, the sundial was relocated following the hospital's closure in 1994 and conversion into apartments.

The sundial comprises a decorated square stone column approximately one metre high, surmounted by an octagonal bronze sundial with a decorative gnomon. The stone shaft features a chamfered base and sits on a paved plinth. The shaft is embellished with square panel-moulding, fluting, and a dog-tooth frieze. The octagonal cap carries an engraved bronze sundial face.

The original hospital was erected at the personal expense of William Cowan Heron (circa 1820–1917), a local magistrate and businessman of Altafort, and opened in 1900. Heron continued to fund improvements and repairs to the hospital until his death in 1917. The date of the sundial's installation at the hospital is not documented; it does not appear on Ordnance Survey maps of 1903 or 1919–1920, though it may have been installed before Heron's death. The sundial's original location at the hospital remains uncertain, though a circular platform on the north-east side of the former building may mark its former position. The sundial was listed in 1993 as part of a group incorporating the hospital, and remained there until the facility closed in 1994. It was subsequently relocated to Skeagh House, a care home for the elderly established circa 1980. Although an interesting example of a sundial possessing artistic and craft value with associations to a local figure of note, it no longer maintains direct connection to the hospital and is not considered among the finest examples of its type.
