The stone has 22 engraved runes in a single sequence. According to one interpretation from 1922 it means Haur of Stream marked this stone for Ramund. If so, it is a memorial for someone who died overseas on a Viking raid. Interesting is that the stone was already called Ramund's Rock in the 1700s. Stream may be the name of a farm. In much the same way the grave mounds gave the place its name, for Hoga does mean mound.
