The Ceremonial Ring was a special place used by the Bundjalung Aboriginal people to initiate boys of the tribe. The Ceremonial Ring consists of a raised ring on sandy ground and is among one of the best preserved coastal ceremonial grounds in NSW.

While the Ceremonial Ring may not have been used in recent times for initiation ceremonies, it is of significant cultural heritage value to the local Aboriginal community and provides opportunities for cultural activities. It is also listed on the Register of the National Estate.
