Runestone from Møgedal
The Runestone Møgedal (No. NIæR 53 - N KJ88) was in the yard Møgedal in Helleland , northeast of Eigerøya in Stavanger in the south of Fylke Rogaland in Norway .
The rune stone, about 3.0 meters long, 1.1 meters wide and about 35 centimeters thick, made of light granite , was found during the construction of the road with an inscription on the underside. The stone was divided into three parts that were used as feeding in the street. The excavated pieces were transported to the Arkeologisk Museum in Stavanger , where they are on display. The runic inscription in older Futhark has been dated to around AD 500.
The inscription with large runes runs on one broad side. It was translated as "laiþigaR" (probably a male name).
