Cadw's description
Location
Immediately south of the south-west corner of the Church of St. Mary.
History
Probably early C19 sundial but perhaps repositioned when the church was rebuilt, the railings are also C19.
Exterior
Stone baluster on a square plinth, The baluster is turned and moulded at the base and then decreases to an octagonal shaft which has a moulded cap. This carries the brass sundial which is missing the gnomon. The whole stands on two low square steps and is surrounded by wrought iron spike railings with cast vases on the corner standards.
Reason for designation
Included for its special historic interest close to the principal church in Monmouth.
