Explore the rune stone placed outside Uppsala domkyrka in Uppsala socken and Uppsala kommun.

Upplands runinskrifter 929 is a rune stone now placed outside Uppsala domkyrka in Uppsala socken and Uppsala kommun in Uppland. Its original location is unknown, but it was brought to light in connection with a restoration in 1975 in Uppsala domkyrka, where it was located in the floor by the Jagellonska gravkoret.

The stone features ornamentation in the Urnes style. The inscription begins at the bottom left and reads upwards. The normalization of the runes reads.ihraʀ let retta stæin æftiʀ Viga, faður sinn. Ingulfʀ risti runaʀ.

The lower right part of the stone is damaged, as are the runes at the end of the text.
