Visited October 2025

A construction site, probably started 2022/2023. Dominant rock type is a granite/monzonite, with some amphibolite/amphibolitic gneiss, and a few pegmatite exposures.

The pegmatite appears to be identical in all exposures, with reddish-brown and white feldspar, grey quartz and biotite. Locally some accessory minerals ooccur.

The coordinates are given for a roadcut, where the pegmatite is exposed over a length of about 10 meters.
