This is the "runhäll" at Tyresta National Park. You will find the inscription on a hillside behind one of the old farm buildings. It reads: Farbjörn lät hugga stenen efter Håulv , sin son. Halvdan högg runorna. In English, Farbjörn had the stone made after Håulv his son, Halvdan cut the runes. The bird on the runestone is a Capercaillie, (part of the Haninge Coat of Arms).To give you an idea how it might have looked a thousand years ago have a look at Kenny's photoshopped version. Oh, and the old Viking road leading up to the runhäll is still there. Bigger photo.
interesting.
