Description

A smallholding featuring two, or possibly three, houses. There are two distinct foundation walls, with indications of possible cellars. A nearby remnant of a wall or a stone pile may mark the site of a third house.

Several distinct clearance cairns are found in the area surrounding the building sites, indicating land used for hay meadows and pasture. The hay meadow served as livestock pasture until the late 1940s.

Approximately 50 meters below the building sites lies a small pond, most likely created to provide drinking water for livestock.

The smallholding likely supported a modest amount of cultivated land and a few animals, with work involving forestry, stone clearing, and seasonal labor at the main farm.

Historical summary

Granset er ikke med i folketellingen for 1900. Plassen ble nedlagt etter siste beboer og utlagt til slåtteeng og beite. Det var beite der til kyrne på hovedgården til noen år etter 1977.
