Runstenen U 597 vid Hökhuvuds prästgård

Ett runstenspussel i papper och sten

Abstract

stone U 597 at Hökhuvud rectory in northeast Uppland in Sweden. The stone was first documented in 1594 and a total of seven fragments have been re­corded over the centuries although only two are preserved today. A closer in­vesti­gation of the earlier records results in a revised understanding of the shape and ornamentation of the stone as well as the reading and interpretation of the runic text.
