Thanks to John Galt...
timed is the time synchronization daemon and a required macOS component. From the manpages "timed maintains system clock accuracy by synchronizing the clock with reference clocks via technologies like NTP. "

Thanks John
I've removed "timed" from the firewall incoming connections, and it hasn't come back yet.
Do I need to do anything about this, because there is an issue with the clock accuracy, or is this something that I just need to let run its course and my Mac will resolve the issue itself by connecting and synchronising periodically?
Great news, I think your fine the way it is now.
All clocks are off a bit one way or the other, so timed checks with a Rime server to set the clock & tries to adjust for the amount it is off.
Take care my friend.
