What is recorded here

Ardnasodan’s oval fort measures forty-five metres across and still shows a bank, ditch and a hollow near its centre. Most of its ring has vanished under fields, leaving only a broken circle in the grass. The central hollow may be a quarry or a hidden passage, so the fort keeps one secret even after losing the rest of its shape.

In level grassland. Oval rath (NE-SW 45.5m, E-W 37m), in fair condition, defined by a bank and external fosse. Possible traces of stone- facing survive intermittently on the bank. It is breached by a gap (Wth 3m) at NE and has been totally levelled and/or dug away from ESE to SE, from SW to W, and from WNW to N. The monument is cut by a field wall at NNW and SSW. A hollow (L 12m) close to the centre of the interior is probably the result of quarrying but could also mark the site of a possible Man-made underground passage.
