At a vertical rock surface just 2 metres to the north of the main road is a carving of a deer, it is of the typical hunter-gatherer type of rock carvings that mainly picture large to almost life sized pictures of animals. Typically dated to older to middle stone age. The deer figure is very easy to see from the road as the carved lines are clear. There is water running down the rock side and according to kulturminnesøk there are steps beeing taken to prevent further water erosion on the caving. The deer figure is around 1 1,5 metre in lenght and around 80 cm in height.
