We did findings quite grundt, the most shallow, perhaps only 15 centimeters under the earth.

– What were you thinking?

We did not understand how big this was, but now that it has been the experts here, fylkeskonservator and people from the Archaeology, we understand more. It should not be made a similar discovery in the Uk since sometime in the 1800s. When it’s among other things, about the size of the discovery, ” says Korstad.
