Carving in Rogaland, Norway
Utbjoa contains several sites with rock art and cup marks. When I followed the historical footpath to the large bronze age cairn located further out I passed one of the sites with cup mark carvings.
The site is around 100 metres away from the parking lot and it has a small information poster next to the path. On the rock surface I could find 10 cup marks. They have diameter of around 5-8 cm and are from 1 to 3 cm deep. Some rock carvings of ships are also supposed to be here but I could not find them as some parts of the rocky surface have been overgrown with grass and earth.
