The hut circle foundations are of uncertain age but the historian on our ship thought that they might be much older than their counterparts in Rendalen (which are dated to around 800 AD and are also featured on Megalithic Portal). The site is inaccessible other than by boat for two or three months in the arctic summer due to ice conditions, or by multi day dog sled trips at other times.
