Could be a surveyor`s benchmark.

What it means surveyor`s benchmark. ?

The carving is really old and deep. It was all covered in mud and came out only lately.

Also any opinion about the cross sign +

 

[gord]

When surveyors `map` the topography using a level and rod, they needed fixed, known elevations to start from, called (over here) benchmarks and turning points. For a more permanent benchmark, they often chiseled a level line into the face of a large rock - a brace would be held along the line to stand the rod on, and the elevation would be taken. The vertical line would be chiseled to identify the point.

certainly a lot of signs you seem to want to ignore...
I'm not inclined to go beyond this point.
Granted the bg signs mean something but the small ones are just as important.

Hi,
thanks.
I have a lot of spots and signs but I am not professional in the matter.
What is bg? And what you think it means.
