- The map in place in the article is somewhat inaccurate. The coordinates do need to be updated - the last set of interpreted coordinates for Skallevoll have it at 37.294: 435.924, and were calculated using GIS software and the 2764 map issued recently. From the edit history, it looks like finger trouble led to a typo when the coordinates were updated a few years ago.
