The rock art of Aubeberget was discovered in 1959. It consists of 96 different figures in three separate rock panels. The figures are not deeply cut and some can be difficult to observe. The site is located in a small park overlooking the sea.
The most common motive are carvings of ships, I could count at least 15 of them at the site. There are also three foot sole carvings, a large number of cup marks and some sun circles. There are a total of 12 cup marks and 9 more cup marks on a large boulder just to the south-west.
The rock art has been dated to be from the early bronze age, around 2000 BC.
