Cist slab carving

"In two instances the decoration consisted of simple shallow, pecked cup marks but one slab was far more intricately decorated. On this slab there is a perforation – worked from both faces – a cup mark of similar radius and a probable third cup surviving at one edge of what was once a presumably larger stone, all seemingly pecked."*

Fascinating; are there any other instances where decorations are worked from both faces and actually perforate the rock?

There are other instances of rocks engraved on both sides ,but I have never come across a lithic channel tunnel .
