Runestone Klemenskersten 7

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Runestone "The Archbishop" (Klemensker Stone 7)

The rune stone Klemenskersten 7 (No. DR 405 -DK Bh 9-, also called Biskopssten) is preserved in two pieces, which were initially thought to be fragments of two rune stones. However, their diabase marbling in the granite shows that they belong together. It is one of around 40 rune stones or fragments of rune stones on Bornholm .

The small fragment was discovered in the wall of an outbuilding in the priest garden in 1879, while the large one was found in the bell tower that was demolished in 1881.

The large piece is now in the Klemensker cemetery on the Danish island of Bornholm. The small piece is inserted into the wall.

From the inscription only the word: "... Archbishop ..." is legible.

Several other rune stones have been placed in the cemetery, including stones DR 399 (Lundhøjsten) and DR 403 (Klemenskersten 6).
