Cigarette ends growing into a mound similar to a cairn over a dead hero. Some one constructed a stone walkway leading to the cairn, as though it were an altar.

They comprise pits dug deep into the ground, lined with logs, and covered with a low cairn of stones. This time, we succeeded and indeed met no difficulties apart from one awkward step across a gap just before the cairn. a pile of stones that marks a particular place, especially at the top of a mountain
