A house, built of turf and stones, 7 x 4 m. lt is situated among the later Inuit settlement (a). The ruin could however belong to this phase too, even though it looks slightly different. a. Inuit tent foundations. Earlier surveys by Bruun (1895, 307) and Albrethsen & Berglund 1970-71 (report in the National Museum of Denmark, Danish Middle Ages and Renaissance).
