Something for all you Wagnerians out there. The images on the stone tells the story of Sigurd Fafnersbane.
Sigurd=Siegfried in the german version.

The runes read something like:
"Sigríðr, Alríkr's mother, Ormr's daughter, made this bridge for the soul of Holmgeirr, father of Sigrøðr, her husbandman."
(Samnordisk runtextdatabas: http://www.nordiska.uu.se/forskn/samnord.htm)
This is another stone commemorating the construction of a bridge.
Designation Sö 101
