The outcrop with petroglyphs from the Bronze Age, sloping slightly to the south, lies on the edge of the park in which there are several outcrops, but only one has incisions. Based on the design, the archaeologists differentiate between carvings made by hunters and gatherers and those made by arable farmers such as those by Rudlå.

The figures consist of ships, bowls , sun circles , footprints and an unusual ax figure. Of the four ship figures, two are about 80 cm long and two 20-30 cm long. They have the typical vertical lines that are interpreted as a team. Some of the 10 or so bowls touch the lines of the ship figures or overlap them. They are 5.0 to 6.0 cm wide and easily visible. The footprints they are about 30 cm long. The area is at great risk of erosion.
