Hi Rhiannon ,There are certainly some very RA like features found on coastal rocks but what gets called crotagan (various spellings) or bait holes are usually man made . As Goffik suggests , just becausee they were used for that purpose in the past doesn't mean that was the original reason .

Hiya - Just a quickie...

I was a bit cynical too, cos nobody else here had ever mentioned them! But after scouring the small bit of coast there till we found them, it did seem a bit odd that these rocks were the only ones with any markings of this kind, or anything vaguely resembling them. Who knows, eh? :o)
