I could not find any detailed runic inscriptions however, only a few carvings that might have been runes since the stone surface is heavily overgrown with moss and it is also numerous modern writing as well. Some of the runes might also have been eroded away. It is also said to be a small burial cairn just east of the stone but this one is not possible to find i the tight forest.
