Staveneset is one of only two places in Norway that contain both burial mounds and rock carvings. The site has a number of Bronze Age rock carvings, and 85 petroglyphs are known. Of these, 37 are boats, 4 are ring figures, 1 is a line figure, 3 are cornered figures, 33 are cup marks, and the rest cannot be identified as any particular motif. Perhaps the most remarkable motif is a chariot drawn by two horses, which is unique among the rock carvings preserved in Norway.
Burial mounds from the Bronze Age lie both between and close to several of the rock carvings.
