Lenses of ultramafic rocks located along the top contact (major thrust zone) of the Fiskenæsset complex (anorthosite-leucogabbro intrusion in Archean gneisses) with an overlying meta-volcanite amphibolite.

Rocks with hogbomite and sapphirine are known, bounding to the West the UMF rocks.

The outcrop is located about 13 km SE of Fiskenæsset.
