The runestone is found in the SE part of a burial field and has its image surface facing NW.

Almost at the runestone with dense undergrowth that preserves moisture and produces more lichen and moss on the runestones.
 

A larger Viking Age burial ground (a family's grave hill) is located on the slope behind the camera.
 

In the burial field there are about 30 graves from the Viking Age, including a large mound 15 meters in diameter, one meter high. There are also about 26 round stone settings and a magical trident.

The runestone U 22 is found here as part of the burial field and those who erected the runestone, Ulv, Vikel and Syrkel, most likely have their father in one of these graves.
