Yes. Look at the shadows:
EDIT TO ADD:
I now see in this post (quoted below) that you do realize it is a hole. I'm going to leave this picture (above) up anyway, just because I took the time to make it

...yes, looks like a hole to me. A hole barely 3 inches wide.edit on 13-2-2013 by eriktheawful because: (no reason given)
My pic does not look like a hole though, my eyes have been decieved. Never trust your eyes,i will be less trusting of my own from now on.
diddnt they clean the area before drilling? Any pics of that?and how big is the area which is cleaned. Also looking at surounding features not associated with the drill hole the shadows are not conducive to the sun coming from the bottom.

It's not a deep drill hole -- it's only a very shallow percussive hole, made by the drill bit vibrating up and down (the bit was NOT spinning to make this mark). The hole is still shallow enough for the sunlight to reach the bottom.
To give you some scale as to how shallow that hole is, the entire drill bit (and that width of the mark it made) is only 16 mm wide. This mark was made basically by just a chip taken out of the rock.

the little ridge at about 7 oclock about,in your measurement 20 mil from the hole. Also the hole near the dot in your letter i in your word direction.

I don't know if they cleaned it prior to the percussive test of the drill. The sand grains at the top are probably some of the debris created by the percussive test.
Which features are not conducive to the sunlight coming from the bottom? The shadow cast by those sand grains seem to give a pretty clear indication of the general direction of the sunlight.

Careful OP. Mentioning either, or both, ancient civilization on Mars, and/or Richard Hoagland in any thread causes some folks to have seizures. You should have posted a warning.
However, I think Soylent has offered up information well worth considering.edit on 2/13/2013 by Klassified because: (no reason given)

How big is that shiny thing in the picture?
What does Hoagland have to do with it?
BTW, this looks like a speaker to me:

the same artcle says it a rotating drill with percusion" can not see any rotation in the hole.
