Jetsmark runestone

The rune stone from Jetsmark (DR 160; DK NJy13 or NJy 13) is located in the Karnhaus of the church of Pandrup , northwest of Aalborg on the island of Vendsyssel-Thy in Jutland in Denmark .

In 1855 the owner of the Bisgård farm in Pandrup found a long, flat rune stone made of granite with runes carved on the narrow side in a cellar made of field stones . He brought the stone to the church. Today the stone, which is partially embedded in the earth, is in the church's Karnhaus.

The stone from the Viking Age (800-1050 AD) protrudes about 1.2 m from the earth and is 65 cm wide and 32 cm thick at the base.

It is believed that the inscription created in the RAK was scratched by a Swedish or Norwegian rune master . It is:

Hofi setti stein ept brœðr sína Þorlak ok Hríði / Hreiði
Hove set the stone for his brothers Thoriak and Ride
