The Ring of Stones, Uren 1940:opp. p.30
The Ring of Stones, also known as the Circle of Stones, is a stone arrangement which may have been constructed by some of the 68 marooned passengers and crew from the Vergulde Draak, a ship of the Dutch East India Company that was wrecked in 1656 about 100 kilometres (62 mi) north of today's Perth, Western Australia. The Ring of Stones was reportedly first seen in 1875 by Admiralty surveyor Alfred Burt, and his companion Harry Ogbourne on the coast of Western Australia. No official report was made of the discovery at the time, however, and it was not until 1930 that the sighting was reported to the Commissioner of the Western Australia Police by Burt. Burt identified the Ring of Stones as being on the central west coast of Western Australia, between Woodada Well and the coast, about "half a mile" from the coast.[1]
