What is recorded here

Ardaneer is a ruined ringfort where local people once quarried limestone from the middle, leaving two shallow scars in the grass. The earth bank still marks a narrow circle atop the rocky pasture, but field boundaries and forgetting have worn much of it flat. It is the kind of place that stops being a mystery when you picture ordinary hands digging, carrying stone and walking home exhausted.

Atop low rise, in undulating rocky pasture. Circular area (29.4m N-S; 27.8m E-W) enclosed by earth-and-stone bank (int. H 0.65m; ext. H 0.7m) that is truncated NW->NE by E-W field boundary and is very indistinct SSE->SSW. Interior level and covered by tall grass; two areas have been surface quarried for limestone: to E of centre (6m N-S; 4m E-W; max. D 0.5m); to W of centre (4m N-S; 3m E-W; max. D 0.3m).
