A few notes and articles were found in old German local newspapers from the 19th century, stating that there used to be several smaller stone circles in the meadows around Říčky. These apparently bothered the farmers and herdsmen, so they soon disappeared one by one.
One of these landmarks was supposed to be located in a meadow in the local part of Pustý hill, where a today's circle was reconstructed some time in-between the world wars.
