Editing Cairn (section)

==== Portugal ====
In Portugal, a cairn is called a {{lang|pt|moledro}}. In a legend the {{lang|pt|moledros}} are enchanted soldiers, and if one stone is taken from the pile and put under a pillow, in the morning a soldier will appear for a brief moment, then will change back to a stone and magically return to the pile.<ref>{{cite book|title=A Genética e a Teoria da Continuidade Paleolítica aplicada à Lenda da Fundação de Portugal e Escócia Apenas Livros|year=2008|isbn=978-989-618-180-2|url=http://www.continuitas.org/texts/morais_genetica.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110725195132/http://www.continuitas.org/texts/morais_genetica.pdf |archive-date=2011-07-25 |url-status=live|language=pt}}</ref> The cairns that mark the place where someone died or cover the graves alongside the roads where in the past people were buried are called {{lang|pt|Fiéis de Deus}}.
