Description
Bergarten er rød rhyolitt med en ganske klar foliasjon. Denne er årsak til at her er produsert endel murestein, men hovedproduktet fra bruddet har vært nedknuste masser (grus og pukk).
Location
Forekomsten ligger ca. 6 km SSØ for Kongsvinger sentrum. Kongsvingerbanen mot Magnor og Sverige går bare 300 m VSV for bruddet.
