Description

Probably early 18th century. Small cubic sundial on 3-tier plinth; eroded dial faces giving way to stepped cap with scalloped carving, gnomon/finial missing.

Statement of Interest

The present Glassmount House dates from the 19th century, but the nearby dovecot is probably 18th century. Both these and the conservatory and steading are listed separately.
