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:

Håmund-Ulv erected this stone after
Rolv his father, and Öborg after her husband.
They owned the village of Släbro.
Frösten and Rolv were competent men.
