It may be worth noting their very transitory nature compared to other forms of graffiti. They are arguably the most “at risk”. And some of the problems of transcription and thus interpretation. I am happy to provide some examples.

I will be stressing that they are a particular group of graffiti often found in particular associations ,but in the terms of the advice and guidance they are simply incised onto wood, Which I know sounds like it is doing them a disservice (not intended to) but as you'll appreciate trying to cover every nuance of the topic in a document such as this is impossible.
