photoDescription
Registrations from 1970 supply us with the following information:

Settlement site, situated at farm nr. 96/ 1, 12, about 12 m East of the farm houses close to two house sites.

Finds received from Reidar Edvardsen and Tegnander Hansen:

Sherds of soapstone, spindle of soapstone and a hone of slate. (Museumnumber Ts. 70299 - 0)

A pearl was received earlier, probably from a burial mound. A farm mound is also localised at this site. Other finds were received in 1945:

Finds of about 20 wooden posts in a bog (Løiphammermyra). A sketch has been drawn to show how the posts were situated, covering a length of 2, 5 m.
