Runinskrift Ög 211, now standing at Reva gravefield in Törnevalla, was previously inside Törnevalla church before it was moved in 1889. The stone's original location remains unknown. The gravefield, with its large mounds, is near an old manor and a preserved village street, making it a significant cultural heritage site. The stone, made of granite and adorned with a serpent-shaped runslinga, stands at 2.46 meters tall and 1.7 meters wide at the base. The width of the rune inscription ranges from 12 to 16 cm. The inscription, translated, reads 'Önd raised this stone for Danske, his good father.' Danske is believed to be the father of Øyndr, the person who erected the stone. The stone's unique inscription makes it a significant archaeological artifact, adding an air of mystery to the otherwise peaceful village of Törnevalla.
