The area contained remnants both from the Neolithic and and from the transition between Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age. Among the neolithic remains, a longhouse and a pit with plentiful of finds, such as ornamented pottery, were documented. A fragmentary longhouse and several distinct hearths and cooking pits from the Late Bronze Age were also found.
