In a line over the middle part of the rock surface there are three big wheel crosses, where the eastern one has a double ring and two horn-like protuberations ending in cup marks. One of those are ending abruptly far away from the wheel-cross because of exfoliation. Two of the other wheels also have horn-like protuberations. Other wheel-crosses, a couple of half-bows and c. 50 cup-marks where four are forming a cross-like figure are surrounding the three larger wheel-crosses.
