    Gamla-Brekkurétt is the name of a former sheepfold. It was in use from 1923 to 1992 and is located in the immediate vicinity of the Gabrok volcanic crater. The sheepfold was originally built of lava stone. Before this sheepfold, there was an older sheepfold, built in 1831, which was in use for 40 years.
