Once upon a time, this area has been used for cultivation. We see stones that are at the lower edge of the plot from when it was cleared, and as the name suggests, it was cleared by flaming, and used to grow root crops. (sveet – method for the clearing of land by burning and flaming)

It was common to have land like this in the forest – where it was protected from the weather and the climate was good and warm. Another conclusion we could draw is that at that time there were no moose or deer. The root crops would then have been animal food and not human food! This has probably never been a place of residence.

Just below there is a great and airy view point out towards Nordviksundet bay and Ytterøya island.
