Mæåsen (Medåsen), Hæstad, Hidra, Flekkefjord, Agder, Norge
3 quarries in granite pegmatites on the hill Medåsen, 200 m E of the Hæstad (Hestad) farm. Quarrying ended around 1910.
Ulland (1994) mentions only one quarry and presents the alternative names Hæstad and Brotdalen for this one.
The coordinates are an approximation based on map data from Ulland (1994) and a study of aerial pictures and need to be confirmed.
