Stone Cairns of West-Central Texas by Andy B on Sunday, 03 February 2013

Thanks for the link John, I've not seen that web site before. Brilliant find. Not related to this location but interesting:

Stone Cairns of West-Central Texas

The countless stone mounds dotting the low hills and flat-topped mesas of west-central Texas have perplexed landowners and archeologists alike for more than a century. Known as “cairns,” these mysterious arrangements of rock can be found by the hundreds—and perhaps thousands—along the rocky ridgelines and bluffs overlooking the broad valleys of the Brazos and Colorado rivers and the canyons of their tributaries.

The following sections highlight much of what is known about cairns of west-central Texas including information from unpublished reports and manuscripts, journal articles of the 1930s and 40s, and more recent archeological reports. Much of the imagery, including artifacts and photographs, has not been previously available and is drawn together in hopes of guiding future research. (August 2012)

Look - a map with pop up links!
Although there are hundreds of cairns in the region, the sites on this map have been excavated and documented. Some have diagnostic materials that guide our understanding of cultural history in west-central Texas.

We don't have any of these listed - exciting!
