They seem very common in the north of Ireland. There's got to be something in it.

A lot of tombs have similar things too.

Any other instances greatly appreciated. I did have a theory about them mainly being at velley heads at one point, but that turned out to be crap.

Are you thinking they were selected, or shaped?

Either way, the objective could have been a pointed shape just as well as being a "shouldered" shape. Pointed is aesthetically satisfying, more monumental.
