Standing Stones- They are not treasures, they are the site of the Standing Stones.

There’s at least 13 standing stones from what I recall Hadvar telling me after leaving Helgen. How many x’s do you see?

It isn't the standing stones because there are 13 standing stones, and there are 17 Xs if I remember right.

Why have I not noticed them before? o.O

I noticed that a few of them do coincide with standing stone locations, but given the number of them and the fact that at least 3 of the standing stones are grouped together (mage, warrior an thief), it's not standing stones.

They are just points of interest, standing stones, word walls and the likes.

I just thought of something, what if the Xs are the standing stones, and the Daedric shrines.

Those Xs are Daedric shrines I think. Amount is right and the one near Solitude is at the place where the Meridias Shrine is.

I already said what they are, the topic has been discussed (I'm not sure if it was on these boards or some other board but this was the answer.)

They are Points of Interest in the game, Finding where the locations are will yield some of the best views in the game, and they are great places to take Screenshots.
EDIT They mark Dwemer Ruins, Ancient Nord Sites (Merideas Shrine is an Ancient Nord Site), and all of the Standing Stones except the Serpent Stone.
