The Gårdstangasten 3 ( rundata DR 331), found in Gårdstånga in Skane is a about 1000 n. Chr. Incurred Runenstein . Today it stands with other rune stones on Runstenshögen in Lundagård, a park in Lund .
Nils G. Bruzelius (1826–1895) discovered the stone in 1867 in the church of Gårdstånga, northeast of Malmö . He was promoted to Lund in 1868 together with Gårdstångasten 2, which was discovered at the same time . A completely unknown rune mark was interpreted by some scholars as a Thor's hammer, which in this case could have served as a manifestation against the Christian faith in the Viking Age (800-1050 AD).
Other surviving rune stones or inscriptions that show a Thor's hammer are among others in Sweden the rune stones U 1161 in Altuna, Sö 111 in Stenkvista, Sö 140 from Jursta, Vg 113 in Lärkegapet, Öl 1 in Karlevi and in Denmark the stones DR 48 , DR 26 and DR 120 in Spentrup.
The inscription reads:
asur • sati × stone × thistle: iftiR tuba:?
Asher set these stones after Tobbe.
