| Description |
| Over et område på 200 x 200 m ligger flere små kvartsittbrudd. Bruddene ble drevet til like før krigen (1940). Skiferen er en tyntspaltende kvartsittskifer og ble brukt hovedsakelig til takskifer. Området har også potensial til murestein. |
| Location |
| Bruddorådet ligger like ved sjøen, men er uten veiforbindelse. Nærmeste vei ligger ved Toppelbukt i en avstan av sc.1,5 km. |
