Ytraberget is connected to [[Indraberget]] and it is located, just north of the village of [[Sørnes]], between two small bays: Sørnesvågen and Grannesvågen.<ref name="snl">{{Cite SNL|Sola_-_kommune|Sola (kommune)|2026-03-29|Thorsnæs|Geir|2026-03-04|editor2-first=Per Roger|editor2-last=Lauritzen}}</ref>
[[Harald Fairhair]] (ca. 865-ca. 933) fought the [[Battle of Hafrsfjord]] during 872 AD. In the [[Saga]] by [[Snorri Sturluson]], a little isle is mentioned as the location where [[Kjotve the Rich]] fled the battle.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Leif Inge Ree Petersen |title=Slaget i Hafrsfjorden |url=https://snl.no/Slaget_i_Hafrsfjorden |access-date=2016-12-15 |publisher=Store norske leksikon}}</ref> The little isle is commonly held to have been Ytraberget, although it is now connected by a low [[isthmus]] of some {{convert|2|m}} in elevation to Indraberget. It is thought that the [[Earth's crust]] rebounding post [[glaciation]] over 1,100 years has exposed the connection between the two.
On the top of the hill, there is a [[plateau]] about {{convert|100x50|m}}. This is the area of the [[Bronze Age]] stone fortifications ({{lang|no|bygdeborg}}). There are three or four buildings that were a part of the ruined structure, all about {{convert|8x5|m}}. Near the top of Ytraberget there is a stone slab [[monument]] erected in 1972 near the ruins for the 1,100-year anniversary of the [[Battle of Hafrsfjord]]. There are good fishing and swimming possibilities at Ytraberget. Ytraberget today is a very common swimming spot for local teenagers.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Frans-Arne Stylegar |title=bygdeborg |url=https://snl.no/bygdeborg |access-date=December 15, 2016 |publisher=Store norske leksikon}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Ytraberget by Hafrsfjord |url=http://www.fjordnorway.com/things-to-do/ytraberget-by-hafrsfjord-p800923 |access-date=December 15, 2016 |publisher=fjordnorway.com}}</ref>
Indraberget is the mainland area that Ytreberget connects to. This area has some of the richest limestone flora in this part of [[Norway]]. There is also rich archeological findings for the Stone Age, Bronze Age and to modern times.
