Runestone from Kallerup
The rune stone from Kallerup (Sj 17, DR 250), also called Hedehusenesten or Høje Tåstrup-sten , is a rune stone that was found in 1827 in a field near the Danish town of Kallerup on Zealand . Today the stone stands by Ansgarskirche in Hedehusene in Høje-Taastrup municipality . The stone has a few bowls .
The granite stone is about 165 cm high, about 85 cm wide and up to 70 cm thick. The inscription on the stone was probably made between 800 and 825 AD and reads: "Hornbores Svides ætlings sten" in German "Stone of Hornbore, descendant of Svide". The inscription in Elder Futhark is unusual in that it uses lines above and below the runes, a practice that is no longer common in the younger Futhark. The Kallerup stone is classified as a rune stone in the RAK style , of the Helnæs-Gørlev type, the oldest classification. This is a classification for inscriptions whose ends are straight and without dragon or snake heads.
