340/365 Cairn
A cairn is a human-made pile or stack of stones. The word cairn comes from the Scottish Gaelic, càrn.
Cairns are used as trail markers in uplands, on moorland, on mountaintops, near waterways and on sea cliffs, as well as in barren deserts and tundra. They vary in size from small stone markers to entire artificial hills, and in complexity from loose conical rock piles to delicately balanced sculptures and elaborate feats of megalithic engineering.
