Old, abandoned iron mines. The iron ore (magnetite) was discovered in 1784 and mined the same year by Bernt Anker for Moss Jernverk. He called them Pluti Grube (Pluti Mine), Bernstorph Grube and Rewentlow Grube, respectively. When Eidsvold jernverk shut down the same mines a little later, they were called Prospects nr. 1, 2 and 3. At least 7 prospect is visible in this area.
