There are no crew-lines but the area between the gunwale and keel are separated by a number of strokes. There are 8 cup marks over the ship.
About 7 m SW is the main panel at Madsebakke. There are a number of ship figures, of which some with short crew-lines. One ship has a small animal in the stem, probably a horse from whose neck a line is attached to a circle figure above the centre of the ship. Between two of the ship figures is a wheel cross, 28 cm diameter surrounded by cup marks and with 4 cup marks between the spokes. There are another 3 weathered ship figures, of which one has a high prow with an animal-head decoration, another prow ends with a loop. Many of the ships are double-lined with vertical frame-strokes in the hull. There are a number of cup marks distributed over the panel, some clearly connected with the carved figures. There are also ship figures which are single-lined, with a twist or loop at the end of the extended prow. Three foot prints are totally carved out, and there are a number of fragmentary prints at the top of the panel. Along the E side of the panel there are a larger number of cup marks, and another group are found at the SW part of the rock, towards the top.

Keywords: Bronze Age, Rock-art, engraving, cup marks, wheel crosses, open air.
Description: Rock surface with a total number of 59 engraved figures. There are 50 very distinct cup marks, and 9 wheel-crosses of different size. The larger wheel-crosses are very distinct, but the smaller are quite hard to discover, they can only be identified in darkness when holding a torch in an oblique angle or at sun-set, when the light comes in from the side. 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.
