Slagstaristningen, Bronze Age petroglyph site in Slagsta, Sweden
The rock surface contains 17 ship carvings, one human figure with long legs, three animal figures, and 170 cup marks across the stone panel.
Discovered in 1971 during road construction planning, authorities modified the road layout to preserve this largest petroglyph site in Stockholm County.
Bronze Age inhabitants from the nearby Hallunda settlement visited this location for religious ceremonies, leaving behind intricate carvings as their form of communication.
Located at coordinates 59.251, 17.850167, the site stands near the E4 highway and Botkyrkaleden road, making it accessible for archaeological research.
The rock carvings remain exceptionally preserved on amphibolite stone, with original ice scratches still visible on the surface.
