Also started on Eiríksstaðir land, some 6 km NE of Hneflasel, Háls was situated highest of any of the community ́s farms, at 594 m. Building there in 1859, the original settlers were Aðalbjörg, daughter of Jóhannes, farmer at Fjallssel; and Magnús, son of Jón, farmer at Mjóanes in Skógar, in turn a son of Ormur. While the desertion date for Háls farm is unclear, it is thought to have been the site of a sheep barn for Eiríksstaðir in earlier centuries.
