They certainly don't look like cup marks of any description . Those holes are quite common and are often confused with cup marks . I could post examples of local ones . Cup marks tend to be like inverted cones whilst these have sharper edges with the sides being more vertical rather than sloping . They don't look like standing stones either .


Please Sir (raises hand in air)...many of the more 'common' drawings or rock art we see (or I have looked at in photos) are of the multiple circular concentric ring type or multiple cup marks...it suggests an 'everyday' theme and something almost bog standard. Would that be a fair assessment and have any worthwhile explanations of what they represent been put forward? (Lowers hand and looks smugly at other classmates!)
