The rock inscriptions at Helgaberget belong to the farmers’ culture and are of the type that we call agricultural inscriptions. It is ring figures and rock depressions which dominate on the rock surfaces at Helgaberget. There are no figures of ships here, which are otherwise so common amongst agricultural inscriptions in Hordaland, and in Etne. Nor do we find drawings of footprints, human beings or animals. We have no clear knowledge of what the reason is for these differences in the choice of subjects.
At Helgaberget it is the rock depressions which dominate: round, small saucer or cauldron shaped hollows, from 3-4 to 10 centimetres in diameter. At least 270 have been identified to date. In addition there are some which are thought to belong to the ring figure symbols.
Here there are 23 ring figures of different types. Some of them have spokes as in a wheel, others are carved out as several concentric circles within each other, with a rock depression in the middle. Here there are also about 20 oval or U-shaped figures.
Helgaberget is situated in the middle of an unusually rich - in terms of western Norway - area of finds from the Bronze Age. Here there have been several burial mounds, and some few hundred metres north east of the inscriptions, a costly bronze necklace was found.
