Here is some info for a rock that must be close to the Slaggyford examples with the same type of markings . Well recorded with clear pics and equally decisive evaluation of "not rock art " .

I'm afraid we'll have to disagree. If you look at the colour photograph, on the 'Knaresdale 1' page, you'll see many walls. They're the ones that I used to rebuild and repair. The house, down in the valley, is where I used to live. It's just called the Knar.

It's a pity the surveyors didn't look further, as the two standing stones are just a little way further on. The smaller one has what could be called a pair of conventional cupmarks. But then maybe they would just think they were glacial erratics that landed the right way up.

Hiya Tiompan
Just like to say I am very grateful for those pics of non rock art that you posted.
I found a stone yesterday that looked like it was covered on one side by "micro up marks"
I got all excited, like you do. Took some piccies and then compared it to the pics you had posted.
And clearly the marks are natural. So I think it would be a great idea to keep them up on the site.
Saved me pestering you again with yet another of my "finds"
