(Ashley, I'm getting a bit of a tan...)<br />The odd thing is, Phil, that not all the holes are on horizontal surfaces, some are on the vertical. Some can be explained by the prescence of water and grit or small stones plus wind action and would be post-glacial and still in the process of being formed. The gritstone is extremely hard, though and in more than one layer. There are glacial striations on the rocks, though, plus a half-finished stone gatepost with drill marks and, further along the edge, some in-situ millstones - all, probably Victorian.Mike Knipehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12792636586674245725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-177918675979573010.post-86863130172514746452012-03-28T20:02:02.676+01:002012-03-28T20:02:02.676+01:00They look like natural 'oles to me.

When I was walking in Glen Gour a few years back I noticed lots of similar holes in the rock bed of the river with pebbles swirled by the stream scouring them ever deeper. I guess that with water and debris flowing under ice there would be even more eddies and currents producing a similar effect.<br /><br />Intrestin'!Elpushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16736460104596022993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-177918675979573010.post-70262205518090475862012-03-28T15:55:00.575+01:002012-03-28T15:55:00.575+01:00What lovely, springy, summery photos there.
