We can reason that the small ruins are fairly close to the Black Rock. Richard was extremely weak when the Man in Black rescued him, so he probably would’ve taken him to a nearby location so that Richard would not be weakened even further by a long journey.

The Man in Black tells Richard that if he hikes due west from the bench, he will find the statue. With this information, we know that the stone bench is due east from the statue. It is also notable that the Y-shaped tree behind the bench has grown very large during the course of 140 years, making this location a very picturesque spot on The Island.
