The site of the Formal Garden and Sundial was formerly given as NS 20637 72832, which is actually the location of the Walled Garden. This has been amended, and a new site created for the Walled Garden. See NS27SW 20.05.
The sundials recorded by Somerville in 1982 were both located 'in the rose garden immediately behind the mansion house' (MS 5741/5/8). Photographic evidence indicates that this area can be identified with the Formal Garden.
