Aboriginal Victoria has begun investigating potential disturbance to the Kuyang stone arrangement at Lake Bolac.
Authorised officers attended the site along the Glenelg Highway this week and met with the caretaker of the land to discuss the next steps.
Local Indigenous Elders have been gathering nearby, concerned about the several metres of rocks that have been removed.
Aboriginal Victoria said the age of the stone arrangements was difficult to determine, but some may be thousands of years old.

Ancient stone arrangement in Victoria damaged
The Guardian
Traditional owners said they were “devastated and traumatized” by the alleged damage to a 1,500-year-old heritage-listed stone arrangement that curved up the hill in the shape of an eel, and was a significant ceremonial and meeting site prior to European colonization of Australia.
The Kuyang stone arrangement stretched across 176m of private farmland at Lake Bolac in southwestern Victoria, about 230km west of Melbourne.
It is visible from the Glenelg Highway, and the tail end of the structure was reportedly damaged when the highway was created.
On Sunday, a non-Indigenous local living in the Lake Bolac area reported that a section of the stone arrangement appeared to have been damaged by a grader.
