- Transcription: Styrr, Þjóðulfs sonr, reisti stein þenna eptir Eyvind, bróður s[inn], dreng harða góðan.
- Translation (Swedish): Styr, Tjodulvs son, reste denna sten efter Övind, sin broder, en mycket dugande ung man.
- Translation (English): Styrr, Þjóðulfr's son, raised this stone in memory of Eyvindr, his brother, a very good valiant man.
The runestone was found on the grounds of Lillegården in 1880, with the runes hidden. The runes were only discovered when the stone was shattered. The stone was put together in 1885 and erected at the Trädet train station. After a restoration in 1938, the stone was moved to its current location.
Dating: 1010 - 1050 A.D.
