Skarbekken er et lite, vannfylt, V-Ø orientert skjerp med sidevegger 2x5 m og ligger nordøst for en større myr. Øst og nordøst for skjerpet er det blottet knauser med finkornet, gråbrun metagråvakke med kun svak rustdannelse. På tippen finnes strenger og årer med kobberkis og magnetkis i metagråvakke, og en opptil 5 cm mektig relativt rik mineralisering ble prøvetatt.
