Ancient Village or Settlement in Norway
This site consists of a small settlement from iron age. It contains three structure remains, visible as square shaped depressions in the mossy ground, and also a number of smaller barrow mounds.
Four barrow mounds are easily visible, and one very distinctive remains of a viking age longhouse is also easily visible.
To access this site, visitors have to cross a very large bog, and the terrain is diffcult to cross, but it is well worth the walk.
