Researching Renewal Ceremonies of CA Indians, especially the Algonquian speakers in Northern CA, the possible builders of the stone rows, I found reference to following certain trails (along stone rows?)to certain sites was an important idea. This is probably a stop along the way, I would venture a guess...
"even the trails were believed to have "feelings" and power to influence human life...all over the region, walking trails were regarded as conscious beings, and in traveling the Indian had to observe certain rules in order to avoid insulting them...There were certain places where it was expected that a person would stop and rest while using a trail, whether he was tired or not, and there the Indian was often supposed to speak a prayer."

Glad you mention this. It is a possible explanation for lots of strange stone walls, as defining a trail.
I have seen places where it does seem as if the walls were like directions, leading to certain sites. I sometimes suspected that the walls themselves were meant to be walked on.
I dare say, the walls were not meant to be "walked on."
