In 1866, this runestone was pulled from the foundations of Uppsala domkyrka. While its original location remains unknown, the stone measures 1.2 metres high and 1.75 metres wide.
It features runes standing 9 to 10 centimetres tall. The inscription begins at the bottom left, moves across the top, and loops back down. Although a piece of the upper right corner is missing, the remaining message can still be examined.
The translitteration reads "þakn * fastaþr * li ___ l * bonta sin". This translates to "Tägn (och) Fasthed läto. sin man."
Today, the stone stands outside the church to the east. It sits among six other runestones.
