Each individual building construction is made of cogged joint planking with protruding notched corners (cross notches)

the exterior walls are unpanelled and untreated. Both sawn and axed forms of timber are used, which partly confirms the likelihood that the individual buildings were constructed independently of one another. The jointing is simple, as is often found in Finnmark. Dømlinger (concealed pins between the logs) have been used only where the timber has been treated, counterbalanced by an extensive use of plank carriages. This means that a log is set vertically both on the outside and on the inside of the cog-jointed timber wall, and is then screwed together in order to strengthen the wall.

The site rests on a low, dry-stone ground-wall of granite boulders.
