Unusual RA

Not all of the markings being identified as rock art these days is genuine. There's an awful lot of natural solution marks being mis-identified (IMO). This is not to lesson the efforts of all those nutters who spend hours scouring the countryside for this stuff. They do amazing work. I just think they get a bit carried away at times.

I know what you mean FW, the problem with RA is its subjectivity, especially where rocks that just have cup marks are concerned. Theres dozens of pics in my gallery of scheduled, or referenced carvings that are dubious to say the least.
