Yes, it is perhaps one avenue of the explanation of the source of the cupmark making myths. A drystonewaller - say one who has constructed two miles of wall in the course of his lifetime - has handled one heck of a load of fossils during that time. He may not know what they are but it is not unusual to find tracks along a plane of stone, footprints, even, once in a blue moon. Zillions of simple molluscs - they are the most common (and so on).

Somewhere amongst the images in store here is that of a plug of turf that has been pulled from a simple cupmark. It has retained the shape exactly - if anyone can locate this image (etc).

I am not ultimately bothered if the David's Cairns site is pulled from here - there are other things in the Knar valley that are far less believable. But I would like one or two other people to have a go at photographing them. My summer photographs from there won't be printed until Christmas probably.
