Eneabba Stone Arrangement
historic site
Eneabba Stone Arrangement is the name given to a registration on the Western Australia's Register of Aboriginal Sites. The arrangement is listed as being at 29°56′43″S 115°5′46″E, about twelve kilometres (7.5 miles) east of the coastal town of Leeman, Western Australia. While the Western Australian Register of Aboriginal Sites lists it as Site Number S01963, the co-ordinates as listed were also stated as unreliable.
In an effort to locate what is known as the Ring of Stones, expeditions were mounted by Rupert Gerritsen and others over a period of six years. The Eneabba Stone Arrangement came under investigation as a possible option for the Ring of Stones, but it was not found at the registered location. In fact, it was not locatable within the proximity of a 20-kilometre (12 mi) radius to its reported location. The Registrar of Aboriginal Sites was informed of this by letter on 31 October 2009, and the results of these expeditions were published in 2010. It is now accepted that the Eneabba Stone Arrangement is not the Ring of Stones, and furthermore it has not been established with any certainty that such a site actually exists except as a name on the register.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Eneabba Stone Arrangement” as historic site. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as historic site. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 21, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5376713. Authority coordinates are -29.945, 115.096. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2009 and 2010.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
