Beskrivelse

Her er brutt ut stein på to steder. Det største bruddet er 10x20 m, og maks. avsenkning er 2 m. Det kan tyde på at steinen er tatt ut til lokalt bruk som grunnmurer o.l.

Beliggenhet

Forekomsten ligger på nordsiden av Kirkøy, i et hytteområde mellom Utengen og Urdal. Adkomstveien til hytteområdet går i østlig retning fra Utengen. Bruddene ligger like sør for der veien begynner å gå i østlig retning.

Abstract:

This work is a report of granite and the granite industry in Norway. It contains a description of the various fields of granite and similar rocks from a scientific as well as from a technical and economical standpoint. The geological occurrence of the various rocks, their chemical and mineralogical composition, are thoruoughlyoughly treated, also the questions of practical interest, as the quality and other technical properties, further the problems of location and conditions for transport, conditions for quarrying and otherquestions of interest in the utilization of the various occurrences of granite. Granite: This chapter consideres first the mineralogical and chemical composition of the granite, and the various types of granite resulting from the varying composition; thereafter the most important structural types and how these are dependent on the geological appearance of the rock. Lakkolites and other froms assumed by granite masses when injected into the crust of the earth, are mentioned; some examples of beautifully formed lakkolites are also mentioned. The question of sheet structure and rift in the granite are of great importance in its utilization, and are of interest both practically and theoretically.

Beskrivelse

Lite brudd på N-siden av fjellrygg med meget begrenset uttak. Flere forsøk på drift langs foten av denne fjellryggen.

Beliggenhet

Bruddet ligger 100 m rett øst for hovedbruddet.
