-
Surtshellir A lava cave formed just after Iceland was settled, with animal bone piled deep inside for decades, read as offerings tied to Surtr and as an outlaw shelter. -
Kverkarhellir A man-made cave at Seljaland whose dug-out rubble may lie under the settlement ash of AD 871, set beside a medieval notice that Irish monks had already left the island.
Considered, and not given a room
A room is for a place with a real open question and enough published evidence to weigh both sides. These were looked at and left as notes, so they are not invisible.
- Fjóshellir at Ægissíða holds a carved cross of the same southern tradition as the 106 crosses counted at Seljaland. The photograph in the Kverkarhellir room is that cross. The tephra argument belongs to the Seljaland mouth, so Ægissíða is not a second pin. Northern Studies.
