Røra lies between Stiklestad and Mære, and is in an area of rich historical monuments. An early highway, The King's Road (), was at a higher elevation than the current highway. Along this route there are several minor finds from earlier habitation. On the boundary between Nedre Vådal and Røflo remains have been found from a very old habitation, probably from the Iron Age. Defense works indicate that the habitation must have been over a long period and been substantial. The location was on a small peninsula between the Trondheimsfjorden and Børgin.
