A construction has been made to protect the petroglyphs at Skogerveien from damage.

The site has figures of fish, a whale and a deer. They all have internal patterns, and the patterns on the fish figures makes it look like they are cut in half like fish fillets. The deer figures resemble other Stone Age deer petroglyphs, such as those at Ekeberg. The fish and whale figures, in this kind of style, are rather unique to Norwegian petroglyph symbols.
