New Viking find in Larvik

CultureBrian Kerr23. October 2019

A new large Viking discovery has been made in Larvik in Vestfold. In September, a so-called “gullgubbe” was found at Hovland.

A few days later, the archaeologists found large post-holes in the site.

The holes indicate a building of 36 metres, which could be a guildhall.
