Runmarsvreten
Runmarsvreten ( Samnordisk runtextdatabas Sö SB1965; 19) is a rune inscription found in 1964 on a rock face (in Swedish Runhäll ) on Dalarövägen (now Länsväg 227), northeast of Österhaninge in Södertörn . It is located on an estate in the disappeared village of Berga in Södermanland in Sweden . The inscription is on a steep rock face made of veined, porous Sörmlands gneiss near a stream.
The height of the rune stone-like inscription is 160 cm and its width 118 cm. The rock is damaged by weathering. The decoration consists of a ribbon of snakes (Swedish Ormslinga ) with rune text. The head of the snake is shown in profile. A Christian paw cross with a ring is placed inside the rune ribbon . There are signs of a bird figure on the cross, possibly a rooster or a dove.
The mutilated text reads: "Gu ... [and] Gunna made this stone and this bridge in memory of her ..." The rear text area is the remainder of a so-called bridge inscription.
The rune scratcher Halfdan, known for runestone style Pr3 inscriptions, who is the creator of Tyrestahalls (Sö 270) and the urine gesture (Sö 298), could also have been the scratcher here.
