Birketveit 1 Feldspar Quarry Quarry
Birketveit Farm
Iveland Municipality
Agder County
Norway Country

Bjørlykke locality nr 23.

Located on the northern side of the hill Birketveitåsen.

A new reconstruction(April 2018) resulted in the probable identification of this quarry, though field confirmation should be done.
