The rock carvings are on two stones which form part of an apparent setting by the side of the road in Årby. The carvings comprise 14 ships, 1 footsole and 96 other carvings (cupmarks). The site is on the eastern side of a lane which runs in a large curve southwards from near exit 126 on Highway E18 and towards the eastern end of the triangular rail junction to the east of Kolbäck.
