Another inigma

First view: There are ledge outcroppings all over the side hill, but  this arrangement of 4 large stones,  with small fist size  stones tucked in between, invites a closer look.  Is this a Cairn?


Moving around the pile...what looked  like a natural split becomes a split that has been adapted.
A beautiful Bird effigy! 

Close up of how the "effigy" stone is fitted together.
It must have taken two strong men to lift the top stone into place. This is in the middle of a glacial dump and I cannot begin to guess it's purpose, but it's definitely not happenstance.
