Solbergfeltet is located in Sarpsborg, and is among the many petroglyph sites located along Oldtidsruta in Østfold. Like the other rock carvings in the area, Solbergfeltet is dated to the Nordic Bronze Age (1800 BCE -500 BCE). The site has been adapted to universal accessibility.

Solbergfeltet actually consists of two patches of rock carvings that are near to each other. The first patch of figures have been painted to increase the visibility of the figures:

A short distance away from the painted figures are another set of petroglyphs that are unpainted, but for the most part still fairly visible.
