The Chalukyan Architecture of the Kanarese Districts c43.9

c43.9

A stone “circle” at Rānebennūr consists of seven upright stones enclosing an irregular space about thirteen feet by eight. The stones are irregularly placed and at varying distances apart. On the west side two are quite close together, while on the east they are as far apart as eight feet nine inches. They stand about four feet out of the ground. Between the upright stones, and on the lines joining them, are seen, in some places, embedded stones on edge. On digging into the middle of the low mound upon which these stones stand, all that was found was a couple of bits of ordinary pottery and a small quantity of white ash.
