Syenite pegmatite dike in larvikite exposed during during expansion of the RV 301 road (Larviksveien) in the 1970s. Located at the eastern side of RV 301, at Tronsrødfjellet, about 250 m N of the roundabout, 1 km north of Agnes.

The locality is commonly named as "Agnes" on labels and in Larsen (1978), Robinson et al. (1978) and Larsen (2001).
