The rock carvings at Sundvolle in Hole are south of Hønefoss in Fylke Viken in Norway .

At the old school building in Sundvolle, under a protective roof, there is a sandstone block about 4.0 meters long, 3.0 meters wide and 1.5 meters high with rock carvings from the Bronze Age . The figures are easy to see; some are painted in red.

Of the eleven scratches, five are pictures of boats, three more appear to be parts of boats. The 20 to 30 cm long boats have single keel and vertical lines that are understood as teams. There are parts of an unknown figure, a spiral symbol and a circle. Of the 15 or so bowls on the stone, 10 are in a line, which is rare in Norway's Bronze Age.

There are several round hills nearby, including the Halvdanshaugen von Stein .
