An old feldspar quarry near the Veisdal farm in a flatlying granite pegmatite dike with a thickness of 3 m. It was worked between 1870 -1910.

Ulland writes that little is known about this mine, and believes it was mainly worked for quartz. The mine is probably the oldest at Hidra.

Coordinates are based on study of an aerial map of 2012 and should be checked in the field.
