Abstract

The Western part of this badly damaged sundial's corpus shows remains of a leg. Gibbs: A distinctly shaped gnomon hole, 31 mm deep, is visible in the top surface. [...] Part of a leg base support is preserved at the lower left. Schaldach: Es sind nur mehr die halbe Schattenfläche und Reste der Basis vorhanden.[...] Das in etwa quadratische Gnomonoch in der Deckfläche mit einer Kantenlänge von 3 cm und einer Tiefe von 5 cm ist ungewöhnlich groß. Ein Limbus ist nicht vorhanden.
