Seen something similar near Avebury?

Was the surface at the bottom of the grooves spectacularly smooth, like the Avebury polisher?

Difficult to tell from a photo, but they kind of look like they might be a bit 'sharper' (deeper & narrower) than the Avebury one. Whether that makes it less likely, I dunno. The smoothness could be important tho.

Moth,
I've never been to the Elva stone circle. Embarassing for me, seeing as I've been to most of the esoteric sites in the area. I'll make a point of visiting soon, and examining it. It's quite a remote and unremarkable site really, except for the so-called axe-marks.
I'll be coming from the south of Cumbria, but my mate lives in Cockermouth, very near. He probably won't have chance to look for me, as he's a mountain guide, and is usually fully booked up taking people walking, rock climbing, and taking some on the via ferrata on Honister Pass. I'll have to visit on the way home from a day on the fells or crags near Buttermere.
Cheers,
TE.

Moth,
Sorry, I should have remarked on how important the marks really could be. It does look like the marks could be like the Avebury ones. It's amazing that no-one else has see them, especially the ubiquitous Aubrey Burl.
Cheers,
TE.
