It is not a sundial but a “marking instrument” to mark the day of  Capricorn
Solstice (our winter solstice)

The monument is  on the
Ruta Nacional 9, Km 100, Huacalera, Tilcara Y4624, Argentina

where  Tropic of Capricorn passes.

 But this places moves slowly because ecliptic inclination changes :-(



Latitude of Huacalera is 23° 26’ South and the Sun is at Zenith in Winter
Solstice in a place near the town.
