In the grounds of Glin Castle, one
of Ireland's most historic properties, there is a horizontal brass sundial
which was made in Limerick, in 1765, by Charles Harrison, an instrument and
clock maker for Judge Arthur Blennerhasset. This stands on a flagged stone
circle with a cobbled surround on a baluster shaped pedestal made of Kilkenny
limestone. It was moved to Glin, in 1904, from Riddlestown Park, the
Blennerhassett house in Co. Limerick, when it was sold. Glin Castle is 50kms west from Limerick city on the N69 at Glin village.
