Risbyle Runestones

This runestone was raised after Ulfr of Skolhamarr by his children Ulfke(ti)ll, Gýi and Un(n)i.

The Norse word salu for soul in the prayer was imported from English and is first recorded during the tenth century.

The design of the inscription is very similar to that of U 226 at Arkils tingstad except that two crosses have been added in the area enclosed by the two serpents.
