The National Monuments Service's description
On a natural rise overlooking Cleggan Bay to the N and immediately to the SW of a roadway. Indicated and named 'Sun Dial' on the 1898 re-survey of the OS 6-inch map. No visible surface trace survives. It was probably associated with the former coastguard station located to the SW.
