The new quarry will destroy the undesignated, unforested eskers and also the burial cairns. |
The cairns you see along the way were once used for supporting the coffin while the bearers took a well-earned rest. |
It dens down in rocky cairns, under tree roots, sometimes even in the disused eyries of a golden eagle. |
Now, their pyramid-shaped middens, or mussel-shell dumps, stand along the coastline like memorial cairns. |
The trail meanders across the bizarre scene with stone cairns built to mark the way. |
There are a few cairns, but do not rely on them, as they are widely spaced and small. |
