A short distance further north ruins of huts were discovered in 1936. They probably were used to accommodate the fishermen during the fishing season and to store the catch. The catch has been diminishing since 1994. It was 158 fishes in 1998. The best fishing spots: Pollurinn, Tanginn, Hofdata, Fjaran, Sydrifloi, Mosnefsdypi and Botnavik.
