It looks very similar with the site "Skarmunken", but this is not a rock laying on itself, this is more like a part of the mountainside.
It is more like sacrificial sites not far away from this site, and it has been a site important for the old sami population, and not far from the rock carvings at Alta. Maybe it has been in use in older times?
The climate here can be rough with strong winds and cold, and climbing the loose rocks up to this site was a hazardous trip!
The name can be best translated to something like: "The castle-cliff woman".
