Skramlestenen, an ancient relic, is located in Gunnarskogs socken in Värmland, Sweden. The stone was found at Skramle farm on Skramle udde during an archeological excavation in 1993. Made of fine-grained gneiss, it dates back to the 6th century. The stone is inscribed with Urrunordic runes, one of fewer than 20 such stones found in Sweden. The inscription on the stone reads, in rough translation: 'Othawin ristade, jag känner till fara'. The translation of the inscription is not fully understood. The stone is now located at Gunnarskogs Hembygdsgård.
