Järsberg Runestone, Norse runestone in Kristinehamn Municipality, Sweden.

The Järsberg Runestone stands 1.85 meters tall, crafted from reddish granite and displays inscriptions in elder futhark writing system.

Located along the prehistoric Letstigen trail, this sixth-century stone emerged from soil in 1862 during agricultural activities in the area.

The inscription contains personal names and titles, including Erilaz, which connects to early Germanic nobility ranks comparable to modern earl.

The monument remains accessible near its discovery location in Värmland, where visitors can examine one of only four runestones in the region.

Archaeological investigations in 1987 revealed a glass bead near the stone, suggesting the presence of an undiscovered female burial site.
