History

After having served as a footbridge over a drainage ditch for a long time, it is now beautifully erected in a small meadow with the image surface facing SE.

The runestone is surrounded by a larger, but damaged Viking Age burial field with just over 40 visible graves, 8 of which are burial mounds.

By car, it is best to park on the opposite side of Fållvägen 19-21 and then follow the path a short distance through the forest to the small meadow.
A sign will show you the way. 

The lost runestone U 39, which is supposed to be found at the now disappeared and forgotten croft Runketorp, a croft that belonged to Torslunda. That runestone was carved by the same runecarver, it has the same layout and the same motif.
