A tag for a cairn already exists, 'man_made=cairn'.
Some cairns mark places where a decent or assent can be more easily
made. And some of these have no path to them in any direction, what is
called 'off track walking'. Usually these cairns establish a point for
navigating something difficult (swamp, sharp rise etc) as such they
usually remain as a service to others.
Cairns and other markers on established trails may be removed by those
that don't like them. Sometimes they are relocated to lead people astray
(i have been a victim of this)!
