I remember when I first saw that too. Most of my family, including my grandmother and one of my uncles live in the Portrush/Portstewart area. I myself live in Hampshire, but my family and I would go there nearly every holiday when I was younger.
Anyway, we were exploring the town, when my brother noticed this sundial. It had quite a bit of graffiti on it, and the tiles were cracked, but I still have the photo my mother took of me, my brother and my fqather smiling next to it.

Also, it's called a gnomon.

It's called a 'gnomon,' Brian. (See the article on the Ballintoy Tide Clock.)

What's the technical term for that upright piece that casts the shadow? Can't for the life of me remember it. Do you know? Would make a good pub quiz question.
