Uppland Runic Inscription 905

This runic inscription, designated as U 905 in the Rundata catalog, is on a Viking Age memorial runestone that is located in Vänge, Uppsala County, Sweden, which is in the historic province of Uppland.

This inscription consists of runic text in the younger futhark surrounding two beasts and a Christian cross that is on a granite runestone which is 1.58 meters in height.

[1] Before the historical nature of runestones was understood, they were often reused as materials in the construction of roads, bridges, and buildings.

[1] The runic text states that the stone was raised by a woman named Þorgerðr in memory of three different persons.

There are three inscriptions known to have been signed by Likbjörn, the now-lost U 1074 in Bälinge, U 1095 in Rörby, and U Fv1976;104, which was discovered in 1975 at the Uppsala Cathedral.
