Further information:
In grave no. 25, excavated by Oluf Rygh in 1875, a pin was found alongside burnt bones, an iron spindle whorl, a knife and a clay pot. These items are often interpreted as belonging to the female sphere. In the same mound, there likely were four distinct graves. In one of the other graves, a similar pin was found, broken and badly corroded. 

These long pins are typical of the Late Roman Iron Age and the Migration Period. Similar types of pins have been found in several female graves on the European continent. They are often positioned on the right side of the deceased's head, indicating their use for some form of headgear or a specific hairstyle.
