What stone is the first pic carved in to?
Looks a bit lumpy!
I haven't a clue but I'm sure it isn't local stone..
Most local stone is igneous or occasional sandstone..
there is a few of these stone 'post' types around the area, I assume a contractor must have been built them (see example, not the actual one), I'll swing by at some point and have a closer look, I know of three with marks but this is the only one which I can see one on..a good excuse to go check the others

Any geologists out there?
