Rock Art in walls

The whitewashed one actually reminds me of a brick wall outside the old swimming pool in Redhill in Surrey, where we used to stand with our 2p pieces, grinding holes into the wall - it must have had 200+ holes, all just as big as a 2p piece...

Now that starts me thinking - never having seen anything myself, are all the cups roughly the same size?

LOL... sometimes, but rarely semi-spherical ;)

Slumpy,
funnily enough, a coin theory has been applied to these particular carving because of the cups rather small diameter (2cm), shape and unusual arrangement:
