Rune stone # Ög 131 - Heda kyrka & socken

The rune stone was previously in the cemetery but got its present location in the mid-1800s when it was laid into the wall of the church. The stone is 2.10 meters high and made ​​of granite.

To name konb is the same word as the Icelandic kanpr, (kampr) which means 'mustache'. The word has the older writing

*þurkiR resþi kuml þusi eftiR onut konb faþur sin*

"Torger reste detta minnesmärke efter Anund kanp (mustasch), sin fader"

"Torger raised this monument in memory of Anund kanp (Moustache), his father"

Rune stone # Sö 149 - Kungsberga, Runtuna socken

This rune stone is moved from Kungsberga, located southeast of the church. Today it stands next to the Sö 143 at the entrance to the cemetery of Runtuna church. It is very damaged after being used in a fireplace and a chimney, and after that as a stone staircase. A piece of the right side is missing but fortunately there are drawings from the 1600s of the inscription (the missing text is in parentheses below).

*anutr auk kyla þau letu kia(ra bro efti)R kunnr sun sin hialbi kristr has ant ayintr kiarþi bor*

"Anund och Gylla de läto gör(a bro efte)r Gunnar, sin son. Hjälpe Kristus hans ande. Öind gjorde bron"

"Anund and Gylla, they had the bridge made in memory of Gunnar, their son. May Christ help his spirit. Öind made the bridge.
