Good grief! As someone who speaks neither French nor Innuendo-ese I hazard a guess that by co-opted it is meant that someone saw a natural feature and 'enhanced' it or incorporated it into a new design?

Making it genuine then?

I'd agree 100% that some, if not all the holes are natural, and cosmetically enhanced with a ring around some of them. The tearshaped one in particular is natural, but I'll wait for the report from the archaeologists before drinking my disappointment away.

PS, I have another in the area to look at too, thanks to a new plan I just found ;)

PPS What's the closest recorded cup-and-ring/rockart to these?
