The National Monuments Service's description
There is a record of a sundial (dims c. 0.42m x c. 0.35m) from the graveyard made by G. Du Noyer (1817-1869) and the inscribed sundial is probably older than the inscription that is fitted awkwardly around it. The inscription reads: (PR)AY FOR TERRENCE BENNET 1706.
