4.6m high rune stone in Västergötland (the tallest in Sweden) in grounds of Levene church. Carved on both sides.

Additional information supplied by Drew Parsons in September 2011: The rune stone is located in front of the church just inside the gate nearest to the entrance to the church. There is a car parking area 50 metres before this entrance on the left (south) side of the road when travelling from Stora Levene. The church is 1 kilometre west of Stora Levene on the south side of the road.

The rune stone is located in front of the church just inside the gate nearest to the entrance to the church. There is a car parking area 50 metres before this entrance on the left (south) side of the road when travelling from Stora Levene. The church is 1 kilometre west of Stora Levene on the south side of the road. I have updated the GPS coordinates and nearest town and village details too.
