Runestone in Oppland
This runestone was found in 1967 when a small shed was beeing built. It was located around 1 metre down in the ground with the runic inscription facing down. It was surrounded by a cairn of smaller stones (burial cairn or stone setting?). The stone was moved to the garden of the house of the finder and a small roof was built over it to protect it from the elements. It is now a part of the garden.
The stone is 1,7 metres in height, around 1 metre wide and 30-40cm thick. It has an almost hexagonal cross section and the top looks to be cut straight off. It almost resemble a pillar more than a standing stone. It is made in a very light, almost white type of granit.
The runic inscription is on one of the narrower sides and going bottom to top. The runes are around 15-20 cm in height and very thin carved and are written in the younger futhark, dating the stone to around 900-1000AD. The inscription say "Agli set this stone in memory of Ulv, his brother".
