An inuksuk is a stone landmark or cairn built by humans, used by the Inuit, Inupiat, Kalaallit, Yupik, and other peoples of the Arctic region. These structures are found from Greenland to Alaska. This region, above the Arctic Circle, is dominated by the tundra and has areas with few natural landmarks.
The inuksuk may have been used for navigation, as a point of reference, a marker for travel routes, fishing places, camps, hunting grounds, places of veneration, drift fences used in hunting or as a food cache. Varying in shape and size, the inuksuit (plural) have longtime roots in the Inuit culture.
As you can see this one is newish and made of wood, but the same applies, built on a hill top, viewable for miles, you can even see the pub from up here.
Have a great weekend.
