Not everything Scandinavian in the era of Viking activity was actually Viking.

This one seems to be a similar design as the ones found elsewhere.

Towards the end of the Viking period, the King erected several large military strongholds which appears to have only existed briefly.

This could be one of those.

Absolutely. The North African invasion in 1150 and the Northern Isles counter-invasion in 1180 of what’s now southern Norway really turned the tide of the Viking expansion and changed the narrative.
