This sundial is known as M29 in ‘The Double Horizontal Dial’ BSS Monograph 5 (2009) by J. Davis and M. Lowne. It is described therein, but without an adjacent photograph because it had been planned but not yet made in time for publication. The completed sundial carries the date MMX when work on it began, but it was not finished until 2013.

It is thought to be the only slate double horizontal sundial in existence whose whereabouts are known.

Much help in the design process was obtained from ‘The Astrolabe’ by James E. Morrison ISBN 978-0-939320-30-1 as well as the BSS Monograph above and help with calculations from John Davis.
