Høelen farm in Modum

[MarkShepherd]

My 4th ggfather Amund Hansen is listed as living on Høelen farm in Modum in the 1801 census, see http://digitalarkivet.arkivverket.no/en-gb/ft/person/pf01058274002341. I cannot find this farm at Oluf Rygh: Norwegian Farm Names. Is this farm under a different farm, or is there an alternative spelling?

 

Thank you

The second post in this thread suggests that Hølen in Modum has Gårdsnummer (gnr) 54 and Bruksnummer (bnr) 4.
It says it was originally a part of Enger farm.

Hølen, situated just uphill from the Døvikfoss powerplant in the Drammen river, is part of Enger farm with gnr 53/bnr 4 and has for many decades been uninhabited. Only remnants of the buildings once there are visible in the present day landscape.
