London, Sept.29 : Norwegian archaeologists have reportedly discovered a Viking era cabin on the island Hrútey in Mjóifjördur Fjord in Ísafjardardjúp, also known as the West Fjords.

According to Ragnar Edvardsson, an archeologist at the West Fjords' Natural Science Center, diggings had revealed an oval building structure with a double layer of rocks and turf in between that can at least be traced back to the Middle Ages.

"We discovered a hearth and an elevation in one place which is likely a bedstead [a place to sleep], for one or more people," Edvardsson added.
Archaeologists aim at finishing their diggings on Hrútey this weekend. Extensive road constructions are currently taking place there. (With inputs from ANI)
