Are these cup-marks?

If they are confined to one face of the stone then, probably, yes. If they're on every facet of the stone then, almost certainly, no.

Hi SL.

I know we're never likely to agree on this one (it's well rehearsed) but just because markings are only on one side of a stone doesn't mean they're artificial.

It might suggest that the stone was chosen for the feature of natural markings though.
