Solution

The correct sequence for the sentences to form a coherent paragraph would be: 1, 3, 2, 4.

This sequence starts with the introduction of the topic (stone stacks or cairns), then provides historical context and examples of their use (in Scotland, Scandinavia, and Peru), then describes the act of stone stacking itself, and finally connects contemporary stone stackers to this ancient tradition.
