The rune stone in Bankeberg, Vikingstads socken, and Linköpings kommun, Östergötland, was found in 1910 and moved to its current site in 1914.
The inscription on the rune stone is difficult to interpret. A nearby sign notes that the carving may be from someone who struggled with spelling or may be a form of pseudo-writing. While interpretation proposals have been submitted, none are considered convincing.
One translation proposal for the runsvenska "þulkR * uasuek * sin × þaosi × if(t)iR × (a)iRku k" is: "Tolir reste denna sten efter Gervi".
