(2006-01-21) | The similarity between these sun dials and the image on one of the stones at Knowth tomb are stunning. Either the sun dial design was in use for a very long time... or you wonder if the carving at Knowth could have been added much later?? | gordlarsen
(2013-02-08) | How does this sundial work? It is located on the south face but how high up on the cross? | Runemage
(2013-02-08) | Hi Gordlarsen, if you click on the highlighted yellow wording on the left of this image, it will take you to our site-page which shows many images of the cross in its entirety. One particular image shows the need for a ladder and probably a gnomon. http://www.megalithic.co.uk/modules.php?op=modload&name=a312&file=index&do=showpic&pid=92883 |
