around here are very old cuttings in the rock dating to pre-roman times

These are particularly impressive, but shorter ones can be found a lot. I've I have mapped a few and used historic=cutting with historic:civilization. Here is a short one: http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/130536519#map=19/42.01982/12.39154&layers=D

IMHO there should be a difference for hollow ways and cuttings in rock.
