Narragansett Rune Stone
"The Narragansett Runestone, also known as the Quidnessett Rock, is a 2.5 tonne slab of metasandstone inscribed with two rows of symbols, which some have indicated resemble ancient Runic characters.
The stone was stolen in 2012. On April 26, 2013, the Rhode Island Attorney General announced that the rock was recovered after an individual came forward with information. The rock was moved to the University of Rhode Island School of Oceanography for testing but this proved to be impossible. . . .
In October 2015, the runestone was placed for long-term public viewing in Wickford, a village of North Kingstown."
