Mandbjerghoj is a Bronze Age petroglyph site located next to the road through Oster Velling Skov forest, north of Oster Velling, west of Randers in Jutland, Denmark. The site features two small granite boulders with engraved geometric patterns from the Bronze Age, positioned about 50 metres from their original find spot. A granite Fredningssten (heritage marker stone) marks the location. The nearly destroyed remains of the Mandbjerghoj tumulus, where the stones were originally found, lie nearby. The carvings are part of Denmark's broader tradition of Bronze Age rock art featuring cup marks, spirals, and geometric designs.
