hmm ... not sure but piqued my interest… May be erected by the military who occupy area - but why this and why not elsewhere in the area ? There is some other scree- but it doesn’t look quite this man erected . And whilst they say the Portuguese landed in the 16 th century and it was not occupied - does it mean it hadnt been 3 k years before?. Just asking.
