Description: | A fragment of a copper-alloy pocket sundial. This fragment is rectangular in shape and curvilinear, it measures 35mm in length and 12mm in width and is incomplete due to old breaks. The outer face has a central longitudinal groove with a legend above and below it. The top line reads; '( )a minute( )' and the lower line reads; '( )oe today ( ).' On the inner face there are four evenly spaced longitudinal lines with various numbers inbetween them, the numbers '9,' '8' and '7' can be seen. This pocket sundial is post-medieval and probably late 16th or 17th century in date.
