Any serious studies on foot carvings done in the uk that you know of? It's a bit of a controversial topic round these parts (you may have heard of the 'enthronement' theory, Iron Age, etc). But they seem to be so common that even I have discovered one (on a very prominent hilltop, obviously) next to some other minor cupmarks.
But this is most obvious example, discovered only a couple of decades ago:

No studies of UK footprints that I know of , although there are far more I.A. examples than the usual cup and ring tradition , interestingly the latter tend to portray toes and the I.A. examples just a basic shape .
Lots in Bronze Age Scandanavian rock art that has been well recorded particularly by John Coles .
