In Kyrsta, a village in Ärentuna socken, Uppsala kommun, stands Upplands runinskrifter 1019. This memorial stone, crafted from red-gray gneiss granite, is 2 meters high and 35 centimeters thick. The stone stands in its original location and is known from the 17th century.
The first name in the inscription is unclearly carved and therefore cannot be interpreted. The other names are common in the Upplands runinskrifter. The inscription states that Iolatr and Häming had the stone raised after their father, Igulfast.
