The boulder is around 4 metres in height, around 7 metres long and around 4 metres wide. The surface is weatherbeaten though some parts have a smooth surface and this is where the carvings are located. The carvings don't seem to have any severe damage to them, probably because of the remote location.
On the southeast side are at least five ships, possibly a tree and six ring or "sun-wheel" carvings. Some of the ring carvings have beautiful patterns and pictures inside of them. Some with smaller rings inside and some have lines from the centre almost like a wheel. The ships are the classic bronze age ships with several vertical lines possibly representing a crew.
On the north side is another boat and a "sun circle". The carvings are deep and easy to see and have also been painted red. The carvings have been dated to bronze age, around 3000 years ago. This rock art site should be a must to all petroglyph enthusiasts!
