Welcome to Tnet by the way.

In this area,in timberland you can sometimes find old carved trees called "witness trees", the markings usually denote a section corner or such is nearby.I,ve seen some with a cross,but usually accompanied by numbers that mean the corner involved. If you know how to read those you can sometimes find an iron pin or such that is the exact section corner or intersection of corners.Just a thought for you.

Arbo - glyphs need to be taken in context.
History of area. Activities by whom. Any tradition involved.

Hunters and others have marked trees.
Here's some context examples of an area with known activities helping sort out origins.

May have buried their dog there.

I was thinking where someones ashes were laid. It very much looks like
a grave marker of some type.

Νο the only thing that is near is a cave

If you spend a lot of time in woods,especially older woods,carved trees are not rare.People been carving on trees since man invented a sharp rock. I always attempt to place some type of interpretation on them,even if it,s my own.Never know when it,s the key to a cache,so investigate. Always,I do,just for my own entertainment. No cache yet!

What's up with the cave? Well known or little known?

 

[GoDeep]

That is a softwood tree, likely in the 30-50 year old range max. So you can rule out it being connected to any old world treasure burial. Given it is using initials, a cross and an arrow pointing to the base, as Newnan pointed out, it's likely a pet grave.

I was also thinking a pet was buried there.
