Stone Mounds

The second photo in the series looks like a platform cairn, which I've been studying for the past fourteen years. If built on a steep slope, the lower portion is usually quite high, sometimes 6 feet or more, but if constructed on level ground, the feature would not be much than 3 feet high.

  1. This is so interesting Matt. Thanks for putting this up. Last time I came by you started telling me about these stone piles around your place, but this is cool and helps me to understand what you were talking about.
    See you later,
