Central pillar seems to be complete now (not sure if its cross-server, but I'm on CT).
I contributed 2 shards, both yielded expected results:
Same text in yellow:
You set the small shard of stone down next to the pillar. A small contribution to the ambitious project.
Same text in blue:
As you survey the unfinished monument you get the feeling that there will be a reason to return here when it is complete.
Afterward, clicking the pillar resulted in new text in white:
A sense of peace fills your soul as you survey the ever-expanding monument. It will not be long before the site is complete.

Happenings in Jaggedpine...
| Quest Started By: | Description: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
A few new NPCs and objects have appeared in the northeast part of the Jaggedpine Forest (around location 1500, -1700).
Summer 2012 If you hail Arben Leafsway while he's at the stone pillar: Arben Leafsway wipes the sweat from his brow and looks up at you and smiles, 'Good day, _____. While it's not much to look at yet, you are standing on the site that will someday be Norrath's latest druidic monument. It will take a lot of material to construct this sacred relic, but I have full faith in the help of passing adventurers. If you happen to come across any rare stones, dolerite or the like, feel free to set them on the pillars and I'll get around to shaping them into form.' If you hail him while he's at the campfire: Arben Leafsway warms his hands by the fire and looks toward you, 'Greetings _____. I hope all is well with you. Me? I'm setting out to build a perfect replica of the great monuments that our people use for transport. If you happen to come across any rare stones, dolerite or the like, feel free to leave them by the pillars over there.' Upon clicking the stone pillar next to Arben: A lone pillar standing in this sacred grove. The design is familiar but it is not often that you see an unfinished monument such as this. As you survey the unfinished monument you get the feeling that there will be a reason to return here when it is complete. Sara Treewind is nearby: You say, 'Hail, Sara Treewind' Sara Treewind bows politely, 'A fine day to you, friend.' Pemwenia Dagor is also nearby: You say, 'Hail, Pemwenia Dagor' Pemwenia Dagor raises her tearstained face from her hands and looks at you for a moment. She speaks in a soft whisper, 'It was... horrible... [horrible]...' You say, 'Horrible?' Pemwenia Dagor is visibly upset by your questioning. She begins shaking her head violently in a fit of emotion. Her words are louder, almost angry, '[They] have made their presence known again!' You say, 'Who is they?' Pemwenia Dagor looks to you then looks to the east. She says nothing then returns to her silent prayers. Across the river is a sealed entrance to another area. Upon clicking the barricade in the blocked off area across the river, you see: A barrier of living bark denies your entry. Upon clicking the corpses scattered about: Part of you wonders where the rest of the body ended up. The mutilated torso drips blood onto the skeleton below it. These bones appear to have been ripped out of the body that rests on the spikes above it. The impaled body serves as a warning to anyone considering entry into the Unkempt Woods. A discarded skeleton. The lifeless hunk of flesh does not have any bite marks. Whatever killed this person was not interested in turning them into a meal. Someone appears to be missing their legs. Spring 2013 Dolerite has finally been found through the "An Epic Request" tasks. You say, 'Hail, Arben Leafsway' Arben Leafsway says "A fine day indeed _____." He looks at the stone pillars and then turns back towards you. "Coming along nicely, wouldn't you agree? Anyway, if you happen to come across any pieces of dolerite, it would certainly help this project along. Just leave any pieces you come across by any of the pillars here and I'll get around to shaping them." With the Small Dolerite Shard in your inventory, you can click on one of the pillars making up the would-be druid ring (this removes the Dolerite from your inventory): You set the small shard of stone down next to the pillar. A small contribution to the ambitious project. As you survey the unfinished monument you get the feeling that there will be a reason to return here when it is complete. If you click the pillars without the Dolerite in your inventory, you see (depending on how far along the monument's construction has come): The monument radiates with a faint semblance of power. Adventurers have been hard at work collecting the small bits of stone that make up this great site. Or: The familiar design of the ancient druidic monuments is recognizable just by the three pillars standing in this sacred grove. Or: Four stone pillars stand proudly in this sacred grove. It won't be long before the central pillar is raised and the monument takes a more recognizable form. If anything new pops up here, please let us know! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

While I did the EPIC augment task again, I noticed there are now four pillars in Jaggedpine on AB. The central one is still missing.
New text:
(Pillars, after clicking)
Four stone pillars stand proudly in this sacred grove. It won't be long before the central pillar is raised and the monument takes a more recognizable form.
(Arben, after hailing)
'A fine day indeed, _____.' He looks at the stone pillars and then turns back toward you, 'Coming along nicely, wouldn't you agree? Anyway, if you happen to come across any pieces of dolerite, it would certainly help this project along. Just leave any pieces you come across by any of the pillars here and I'll get around to shaping them.'

As I was doing my epic request (ranger) I got the "small dolerite shard" and looked it up. Reading here that Arben Leafsway wants them, I tried handing him one but he gave it back. Hailed him and he said:
"A fine day indeed Shadowsedge."
He looks at the stone pillars and then turns back towards you.
"Coming along nicely, wouldn't you agree? Anyway, if you happen to come across any pieces of dolerite, it would certainly help this project along. Just leave any pieces you come across by any of the pillars here and I'll get around to shaping them."
I could not drop it so put it back in my bag. I clicked the druid stone pillar and got a message:
"You set the small shard of stone down next to the pillar. A small contribution to the ambitious project."
"As you survey the unfinished monument you get the feeling that there will be a reason to return here when it is complete."
I looked in my bags and it was gone. So I clicked the druid stone pillar again and got the message:
The familiar design of the ancient druidic monuments is recognizable just by the three pillars standing in this sacred grove."
Nothing else after that. Must be part of a future expansion.

I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you thought you heard was not what I meant.
With the introduction of An Epic Request on March 15, 2013, an item called Small Dolerite Shard appeared.
This may be given to non-druids who complete the Jaggedpine exploration step of the quest, and may be use to contribute to build a druid ring monument on each individual server, as per the comments from Reebo Leefsway in the writeup above. However, druids do not get a small dolerite shard for completing the druid sub-quest, but I believe that druids contribute to the building of the ring simply by successfully completing the druid-specific instanced zone part of An Epic Request (Druid), as per the final line of text that shows up just before the instance completes that suggests the stones have been built up some more.
This is my observation so far, based on what I've observed and what I've heard from other people. Please contribute more info if anyone knows more details.

Everyone gets the Dolerite piece when the task "An Epic Request" updates in Jaggedpine.

I think Rondor may have it right. I did the ornament quest on a 90 druid and he didn't get one, but a 70 bard did.
And I'm probably way off base here, but what are the chances it has something to do with the upcoming expansion? Maybe not a lead-in, but something to bring attention to the area. It could explain why you "get the feeling that there will be a reason to return".
(Kind of feel like I should've signed up for the beta after all.)

This may lead into the next expansion that centers around the origins of lycanthrophy:

So from what I can piece together is that the druids trying to build the teleportation device may end up peeving-off the denizens of the Unkempt Woods, who want nothing to do with outsiders, in their quest to quench their thirst for knowledge of the "unkempt" ways. Then I am guessing some big war will erupt and it'll be good ol' folks of Norrath to come to the rescue (translation - screw things up even more).
