I think they are natural formations, Nature has a wonderful way of expressing herself. Ancient volcanic activity then cooling can cause cracking and amazing geometric formations. formations from Ireland.

peace.

I believe these are examples of columnar basalts. That jointing is caused during the cooling of the rock. Basalts are volcanic rocks which occur at or near the surface.

The granites on the other hand form at depth and the jointing is not caused during cooling. Rather from the de-pressurization of overburden rock being removed which causes expansion and jointing of the exposed granite.

Regardless, both are examples of natural jointing. It may seem like splitting hairs however the lithology of a rock is very important as it is determines the characteristics and physical properties that rock will have (i. e. natural jointing or not). The type of rock one will encounter is directly related to its (tectonic) setting.

I think there are a great many things out there and even still are many more to be found. Could that be part of something once? Perhaps but at this point so little is left all you can see is a rather strange and possibly natural rock formation. Does that mean its not a piece of a built structure? No... if we look at a place of distruction even today we see rubble if we walk away from it and come back in 5000 years we will see scant bits of that rubble.. it will merge with the area around it and we would wonder.. was there a building here before? The pieces might say no even if we knew the truth was yes.
