Mindre røskingsarbeider er gjort i mindre knauser i myra 1600 m vest for Holsvatnet. I hoveskjerpet er det sprengt ut en 15 m lang (NNV-SSØ) og 1-4 m bred røsk med en 2 m høy vegg i vest. I vest finnes 3-4 m bred epidot+granat skarn som blir mørkere grønn (amfibol/pyroksen) mere sulfidrik mot malmsona. Malmsonen er opptil 4 m bred i sør og kiler ut mot nord. Den består av en sentral magnetitt rik sone (få dm bred) med litt grønn skarn omgitt av mere massiv magnetkis med varierende mengde kobberkis som gjerne finnes rundt kvartsøyne. Varierende mengde svovelkis finnes i begge malmtyper. Dels kraftig foliert hornblendedioritt finnes 30 m lengre øst.

Abstract:
The plutonic rocks which compose the Smøla-Hitra Batholith (SHB) cover an exposed area of c.1000 km² and intrude folded, Arenig-Llanvirn, low-grade meta-sedimentary and bimodal metavolcanic rocks and higher-grade polydeformed gneisses of probable Proterozoic age. The SHB is unconformably overlain by Old Red Sandstone sediments of possible Late Silurian to definite Middle Devonian age. Field relations demonstrate that the oldest rock-types in the batholith comprise gabbro, monzodiorite and hornblende diorite. These are succeeded by tonalite, granodiorite and granite, which occur both as plutons and as abundant dykes and veins. Later members of the SHB include composite dykes, porphyritic microdiorite, appinitic pipe-like bodies, dolerite dykes and lastly, granophyre dykes. The hypabyssal rocks post-date a phase of weak, heterogeneous deformation manifested locally within the various plutons. Pressure estimates from hornblende compositions indicate a pressure of solidification of 0.26 +-0.1 GPa, corresponding to a depth of about 9 km. Preliminary isotopic dating has indicated an age range from c. 450 to c. 428 MA; latest Mid-Ordovician to Early Silurian. The rocks of the SHB show little sign of the Scandian deformation and metamorphism which are so common elsewhere in this part of Norway.
