Description

Possibly 17th century. Sited to E of Collegiate Church on a
mound. Weathered ashlar. Square, moulded base supporting a
shaft comprised of 4 piers, each with moulded base and neck;
deeply over-hanging cornice/table above shaft, with cubical
dial at centre. Waisted, moulded block set on dial, added
later from series of stones formerly strewn about the area.

Statement of Interest

The proportions of the dial are unusual; the base, shaft and

table reach a height of 6', on a base under 2' wide,

supporting a table 5' wide. The possibility that the

structure served some other purpose originally, cannot be

ignored.
