Runinskrift Sö 265 is a rune stone found near a farm's main building in the middle of the 19th century. It is believed to have been a bridge stone near a bridge on a stream bed, making it an important part of the local history. The stone stands about 3 meters tall and is adorned with runes that are larger than usual and clear. The inscription mentions two people – Assur, the son of the person who raised the stone, and Ulf. The stone carver is believed to be Asbjörn, based on similar ornamentation in a nearby rune stone. The rune ornament is simple, with a crossed rune orm. The stone was not found near the farm's main building, but further söder om gårdens huvudbyggnad.
