High above the churchyard wall in Dagsberg, a fragment of a runestone is placed above the churchyard wall in Dagsberg's parish, east of Norrköping in Östergötland. Although its original home is unknown, the stone is now situated in this location.
The inscription, translated into modern Swedish, tells of a son who died in the army of Ingvar. The text refers to someone who died in the east.
Today, visitors to the churchyard can observe this fragment for themselves. It sits integrated into the local landscape, serving as a piece of the past that overlooks the modern ground.
