pocked
Full of holes
Pocked describes a surface marked with small holes, pits, or indentations.
Skin can be pocked from acne or disease.
A landscape pocked with craters shows evidence of bombardment or erosion: The moon's pocked surface.
The word suggests damage or wear that leaves permanent marks: walls pocked with bullet holes.
