Köppen climate type:
Easiest accessible from the Hyttebekk sommer farm 600m to the NNW, when the water levels in the lake are not too high. A 7m long open cut with an adit 2m higher up in the hillside.
According to Dons (1963), the prospect showed signs of fire-setting as well as blasting.
The NGU registered a copper locality by the name of Sundsbarm (Object nr. 5759 (3820 - 014)), which seems to be either identical or being located at essentially the same place.
The LIDAR maps shows there to be 2 potential mining features:
59.53977,8.44948
59.54006,8.45014
The NGU failed to find back the Sundsbarm locality, possibly due to too high water levels in the lake. However, the coordinates are for a spot far above the highest conceivable water level.
