Lingsberg Runestones, 11th-century runestones in Vallentuna Municipality, Sweden
Two stone monuments with intricate serpentine patterns and runic inscriptions stand at Lingsberg farm, approximately 2 kilometers east of Vallentuna.
The inscriptions mention the collection of two Danegelds in England, indicating military activities between 1018 and 1066 during the Viking Age.
The stones feature text in Old Norse using younger futhark script, demonstrating the writing system and commemorative practices of medieval Scandinavia.
Visitors can reach the stones by following marked paths from Vallentuna, with the main stone U 240 positioned at the end of a causeway.
The stones contain interlocking messages, with U 241 starting with 'and', suggesting they form a single narrative about the same family.
