Hesslingby Runestone

Hesslingby Runestone
This runestone from the Viking Era has been nearly invisible for a long long time, probably hundreds of years. It was lying on the ground behind Kikarberget near Kalvsvik in Österhaninge, and if you didn't know that it was there it would be hard to find it. The runic inscription is very basic. There is a cross and a few runes that could read "fadiirt". Translated that could mean Father T. More info in Swedish here: bit.ly/3754Keh
