This runestone stands in a private garden on the east side of the alley.
“Sven had these runes cut in memory of…was the name of the second, Assur the third, Germund the fourth…was their mother”.
The inscription is badly damaged and the names of two of the four (or five) deceased men and their mother cannot be read anymore. All the names are common in the runic inscriptions of this period. The carving faced the road which during the Viking Age led northwards from the town to the central parts of Uppland.
Did you know that
Over 90 percent of the stones are erected in memory of one or more men who died in distant countries, or died at home. Every eighth stone was erected by a single woman, every tenth by a woman together with several men, often the widow and sons of the deceased, but sometimes also sisters and brothers.
