There's text written on some stones, sometimes you get a hint on what happened and how the buildings came to ruins, what's the story with the Draugr and so on.

Yeah I know that but who buried them!

Some are the remains of those people before (and maybe after) the gods cast them down. A few of the other stones also mention some people coming to valheim with others. Some, especially with boat wrecks, could have just been others who crashed on the shore and were buried over time.
