Excellent point. The more of these cairns I come across, the more convinced I am that they were initially constructed with dished interiors. This would make them functional in some way, rather than merely marking a particular spot. I'm pretty sure at this stage that the cairns were used for something, sky burial being one, but by no means the only one, of many possibilities
