What determines natural as opposed to manmade?

Is it the actual carving itself, whether having sharp edges, worn edges etc, or is it the location on the stone?

Some of these seem too regular to be natural to me. Barharrow looks manmade, purely because of the stone that is not marked.

Saying all that, when I was a young'un, we used to go swimming at Redhill baths in Surrey, and while waiting, all our 2p entrance money was used to bore holes in the soft brickwork. There musta been thousands of them...
