I was clearing Lurthen (previously an "Abandoned Site" - type of location) and I noticed this tiny path leading to the coast.
It has no markers nowhere either along it, or at its end, but I thought regardless:
"Hm... if there's a path, it's gotta lead somewhere, right... ?"
NOTE: This was the first time EVER that I had visited the spot during this playthrough.
In my approach towards Hindarsfjall, which I had just viisted for the first time, I approached it from the NorthWEST.
Thus, this wasn't a location i was RE-visiting from earlier. I HAD NEVER BEEN EVEN CLOSE TO IT.
---
So I followed it and encountered the sight of a tiny camp with a fireplace:
* One corpse of a Clan Heymaey Shieldmaiden, and 2 bandits which immediately went aggressive on me.
After killing them and looting their corpses, I noticed an already-killed bandit's corpse slightly further within the camp, which had already dropped loot.
Therefore, my assumption was that I had just missed some mini-event (yellow exclam mark side-quest), which I was supposed to interfere in.
---
So I reloaded my save and went down the same path.
This time I encountered a LIVE Shieldmaiden, with ONE bandit corpse, and NO loot.
"Drat it!! Late again!!" I thought, so I reloaded YET AGAIN.
---
The final time round, I encountered the Shieldmaiden again, but NO signs of bandit presence whatsoever.
NOTE: This was the first time EVER that I had visited the spot during this playthrough.

So, I guess my question is:
Is anyone able to enlighten me just WHAT this is all about? :O
