Runic plate from Tyresta by

The rune plate from Tyresta by ( Swedish Runhäll i Tyresta by - RAÄ No. Österhaninge 140: 1 or Sö 270) is a rune plate behind a house in the hamlet of Tyresta by in the municipality of Österhaninge on Södertörn in Södermanland in Sweden .

The serpentine ribbon of the ornament is connected in the lower part with an Irish belt . The snake frames a Christian cross with a left-facing rooster on the top. Roosters have symbolic meaning in both Christianity and Norse mythology. The rooster Gullinkambe ( German  "gold comb" ) stands on the tip of the world ash tree Yggdrasil and wakes the nobles before the destruction of the earth. However, the bird shown is interpreted as a wood grouse , which also appears in Haninge's municipal coat of arms and is still at home in the Tyresta National Park today. Roosters turned to the right also appear on the crosses of the two stone fragments from Västerhaninge-Tungelsta, Sö 245 and Sö 247.

The text of the stone, which was carved around 1000 AD, reads: “Frøybiorn made the stone after Håulf, his son. Halvdan scratched the runes. "

Nearby is the Södra Beteby rune stone .
