Rock carvings by Hamarhaug
The rock carvings of Hamarhaug (also Hammarhaug or Husaberget called) are at the Ølvesvegen and the Hammarhaugsvika, northwest of the hamlet Ølve, south of Bergen in the Fylke Vestland in Norway .
The Bronze Age rock art lies on a vertical wall near the ground, a few meters from the road. Water constantly running down the cliff has caused some rock carvings to be destroyed over time. The water has also left vertical gully carts .
The site once consisted of 36 pictures and two bowls . 33 were pictures of ships or the remains of boats and three are circles. The ship pictures are 30–40 cm long. One ship has high pointed stems and three others have the basic shape with the typical vertical lines that represent the crew.
