Early Bronze age Rock Carving in Vestfold, Norway

This site consists of a rocky outcrop with rock art from early bronze age. The rock art is in danger from being erased because of erosion and some parts of the rocky surface has been covered up in an effort to slow down the erosion process and preserve the rock art site for the future. The only visible carvings on this site visible are some smaller cup marks.

The site is located inside a modern cemetery and a small park with larger trees around the site itself and is easy to find.

The site consists of 6 carvings of ships, very typical bronze age ship carvings and 127 cup marks. When I visited the site I could however only find around 10 shallow cup marks.
