During a recent trip to Norfolk in the UK I found myself looking through rock pools when the tide was out and realised there were at least three circular formations which were spread over the chalk surface but were made up of what looked like rocks fused together. 
 
Is it possible they are a series of prehistoric nests for dinosaur eggs? 
I have enclosed some photos.
I look forward to hearing from you.

My first thought is stromatolites.  This google image is of a similar ring in Australia.  Yours are fossils, of course.  But wait for more knowledgeable folks to weigh in.  And welcome!

They are fine examples of paramoudra flints, ring-shaped formations originating as trace fossils.
