Quarry where a total of 2-300 tons of feldspar has been mined.

Andersen (1931)'s designation: "Åneland I".

Norgeskart indicates for a possible quarry at a place that corresponds well with Andersen (1931), but aerial pictures don't show anything. SSW and NW of this location there seem to be two more prospects.
