there's supposed to be a couple of axes(?) carved in relief at Boscawen-un but I've never seen pictures of them. For the foot fetishists there's these -

I think there are some figurative carvings in Scotland but the sites escape me at the moment.

They're definitely there, but pretty impossible to photograph at the times I've been there. Very faint, but nevertheless two hand-axe shapes.
