Is this boat-shaped or one with a burnt boat beneath it ?

To make matters worse I believe there is a class of cupmarks - presently being dispelled as 'quarrymarks' - that are specifically boat-shaped. Boats were the vans and wagons of then, probably.

Hang on I'll get me spade out :-) Definitely the former, possibly the latter.

Anything like these elongated cupmarks? These seem to be very comon across the Wicklow mountains. No one has been able to prove that they're quarrying marks, but many think they are.
