Natural (?) cupmarks - calling tiompan!

The Village Pump
We visited Carn Liath at the weekend and noticed cup marks on one of the entrance lintels.
Some run along what looks like a fault-line in the stone, and appear to be due to weathering.

But below that, on the under curve of the lintel, are a couple more which look more likely.

Any opinions?
The RCAHMS mentions cupmarks and horizontal lines on a lintel, but appears to suggest that that particular lintel was over an outer entrance and is now lost.
