Brynsåsen quarry was started in 1959 when Furnes and Vang municipalities were given the right to remove rock masses for construction work at the Flagstadelva in Vang. Extraction and crushing of rock masses has since been carried out here. Brynsåsen belongs to the bedrock and the rock is medium coarse-grained granite and gneiss granite with quartz veins. The quarry is now closed.
