Runestone Nf1956
“Anund had the stone erected in memory of himself in his lifetime”.
The name Anund was very common during the Viking Period. It was not unusual for a man to erect at rune stone in his own memory. The famous chieftain Jarlabanke in Täby erected at least five stones in memory of himself during his lifetime. The rune stone, broken into six fragments, was found in 1956 in the north wall of the ruin of St Lars’ Church.
