Mysterious Impact
Overview

Cairn Direct east of the firing ranges you can find this arrangement of stones. There are a lot of these whimsical arrangements all over the island, but this one has something special...

 


Stone ...on the flat top of one of the stones I found a piece of plumbum sticking in.

Closer view In a closer view it is noticeable that in the area around the piece of plumbum some material of the stone has burst away and a crack happened, which indicates the high energy for getting into the stone.
First, I thought about a shot into the air with the projectile finally hitting the stone, but why is the rear of the plumbum looking like it was knocked with something of sharp edges?

After I pulled the plumbum out of the stone it looked like this.
