Instrument telling the time (7)

I believe the answer is:

sundial

(Other definitions for sundial that I've seen before include "Instrument showing the time" , "Natural timekeeper" , "device useless at night-time" , "Primitive timepiece" , "Times given by this" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
