Liten røskegrop 3 x 2.5 m i omriss og ca. 1 m dyp midt utpå stor åpen vidde 3.5 km sør for Røsjøhøgda. Skjerpet ligger rett ved en sti. Mineralisering har en liggsone bestående av kvartsitt/chert med flere 0.5 - 1 cm tykke magnetittbånd, dels karbonatholdig (prøve ST0392.01). I heng for denne opptrer en ca. 50 cm mektig sone med svak impregnasjon med uregelmessige magnetkisaggregater i en bergart bestående av grovkornet gruneritt i rosetter, kvarts, Fe-rik karbonat og 1-2 mm euhedrale røde granater, samt enkelte meget mørkegrønne aggregater av mm-kornet kloritt (prøve ST0392.02). Det er også en liten røskegrop i overflaten ca. 15 meter nord for hovedrøsken med grovkornet gruneritt og gossan.
