This runestone stands inside the ruin of St Peter’s (Per’s) Church

“Torbjörn erected this stone in memory of  Esbjörn, his brother. They are sons of  Dyrver at…”

The names Torbjörn and Esbjörn are common in the runic inscriptions while Dyrver only is known from this inscription. The inscription is probably carved by Torbjörn who has also carved the stone U 379 by St Mary’s Church, the boulder U 391 at Prästgatan and a fragment of a rune stone in the ruin of St Olof’s Church. The stone has been in the ruin of St Peter’s Church at least since the 17th century. Unfortunately a part of it is missing and therefore the end of the inscription is unknown.

Did you know that

About half of all Swedish rune stones are from the province of Uppland. One of the reasons for this is that the tradition lasted for a much longer time here than in other parts of Scandinavia, more than a hundred years. Especially in the region between Stockholm and Uppsala a considerable number of rune stones have been found.
