The little isle is commonly held to have been Ytraberget, although it is now connected by a low isthmus of some 2 metres (6 ft 7 in) in elevation to Indraberget. It is thought that the Earth's crust rebounding post glaciation over 1,100 years has exposed the connection between the two. On the top of the hill, there is a plateau about 100 by 50 metres (330 ft × 160 ft). This is the area of the Bronze Age stone fortifications (bygdeborg). There are three or four buildings that were a part of the ruined structure, all about 8 by 5 metres (26 ft × 16 ft).
