Knowledge of runic writing reached the Nordic countries,
as early as the 3:rd century A.D.
After 400 A.D. it began to be used for inscriptions on stones.
The stone was usually put up to commemorate
a dead person or some great deed.

The inscription reads:

Unnulf and Fjolvar erected this stone after Djure,
their father son of Hredulf and for Harlau,
their mother, daughter of Fjolvar of Vitgudsstad.
