The figures are: One sun-cross, a circle with a cross inside. The diameter is around 22cm. Two sun-circles, a cup mark with two circles around it, three circles on the other figure. They are 30 and 35cm in diameter. One animal figure, three wave-shaped lines and one cross-shaped figure.
There are around 45 cup marks at the site, but most of them are on top of the rocky surface mostly covered by soil and grass.
There are 22 ship carvings. Most of them are carved with a single, very clear keel line, some of them also have a double keel-line. The length of the ship carvings range from 30cm to 1,2 metres. They all have clear vertical lines called "crew-lines."
The carvings have been painted in white and are deep and easy to see.
