A somewhat larger mine than the nearby Litlårdalen prospects. There is a 18 m long tunnel, and there is a dump. From WW1 1916-1918.
The NGU coordinates do not correspond with those from the database over natural heritage sites, and seem to be mistaken.
An aerial picture of 2020 at kart.1881.no shows fresh exposures of rock at the NGU coordinates due to the contruction of a road, and might enable study of the rocks.
