Rock Art in Västmanland

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.

Ã…rby Hällristning submitted by DrewParsons : The stones on which I think the rock art appeared although it was too faint and covered in moss for me to be sure of what I saw. The site sign and the Riksantikvarieämbetet Fornsök website map clearly give this as the location for the art. September 2011. (Vote or comment on this photo)
