About Djáknadys
„Djáknadys, steinhrúga við þjóðveginn í norðanverðum Hamarsfirði, milli Strýtu og Hamars. Munnmælin segja að þar hafi presturinn á Hálsi mætt djáknanum á Hamri og hafi þeir orðið saupsáttir og fallið báðir. Vegfarandi sem í fyrsta skipti átti leið þar um átti að kasta þrem steinum í hrúguna svo að hann yrði ekki fyrir neinum óhöppum á ferð sinni. Dysin er nú friðlýst.“
