Asking for help...my brother geocacheing in elvish

[lexin]

My brother's hobby (one of them) is geo-cacheing. If I've spelled it right.

That's where he (and his girlfriend) have a programme on his mobile which lets him search for little hidden boxes (geo caches) and, once they've found them they sign a book (or something) to say they have and update a website. It's a good fun way to give them plenty of exercise and encourages them both to be out in the countryside.

Recently he came across this, which is (he's told) directions to a cache somewhere or other probably near where they live. Or maybe not.

Can anyone translate it?

I finished the socks I was knitting and am looking for another project. I shall inspect my stash of wools this afternoon.

One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.

I thought I recognised it as soon as I spotted the rhymes.

Not, I think, directions; or not in the conventional sense.

He might live near a Ring of the stone circle or earthworks variety? Or even a ring road, though further clues would be needed to pin it down.

I thought it looked vaguely familiar, but what do I know from elvish?

[snakeling]

It's the inscription on the Ring :)

Oxford Ring Road?

Could be any ring road, really.
