There are different types of cairns. For example, burial mounds from the Bronze Age or the Iron Age. They are often high and are often located high in places that can be seen from afar. One theory is that they served as markers for strangers. Inside the burial mound was a coffin made of blocks of stone or wood, in which the dead were laid.
