Hornesfeltet is another one of the many petroglyph sites dated to the Nordic Bronze Age (1800 BCE -500 BCE) located along Oldtidsruta. Hornes is in Skjeberg, Sarpsborg

Hornesfeltet mostly consists of ship figures, but there are also some cup marks (skålgroper) and one human. The painting had started to fade from many of the petroglyphs when I visited.
