Oklundahallen
The rune stone Oklundahällen ( Samnordisk runtextdatabas Ög N288 and Ög ÖR1980; 19) is a rune plate from the Viking Age (800-1050 AD) in Oklunda near Östra Husby , east of Norrköping in Östergötland in Sweden .
It's a carving on a rock outcrop . The incision is flat but sharply carved and painted in red. It is located on a smooth, slightly sloping surface made of fine-grained gray rock. It consists of 4.0 to 4.5 cm high runes in four closely spaced rows of 24 to 28 cm in length, as well as a transverse row. It dates from the 8th century and is considered unusual because, not following the usual pattern, it affects a memorial stone. Since the discovery of the carving, there have been discussions about how to interpret the text and where it begins, which has created problems with reading. The interpretations are largely the same except for certain words. In this context it is important that everyone has the interpretation that Gunnar fled and "sought protection in this Vi".
