Upplands runinskrifter 902

Upplands runinskrifter 902: An archaeological site with a clear but undecipherable inscription along an old road.

Upplands runinskrifter 902 is a runstone that stands among a row of erected stones along an old road on the south side of Hågaån. It can be reached either via a forest path from the old railway embankment at Håga or from Kvarnbo along the river. The stone stands about 5-6 centimeters high.

The inscription on the stone cannot be deciphered. Although the runes are very clear and well preserved, the letters do not appear to form words or sentences. The repeated appearance of the i-runa suggests that the text is not an inscription in a runic cipher.

While there is no known translation for the text, it remains a visible part of the landscape. The runic characters are preserved in a way that highlights the mystery of the undecipherable sequence of letters.
