Krogsta runestone, Norse runestone in Uppsala Municipality, Sweden
The Krogsta runestone stands 170 centimeters tall and features inscriptions in Elder Futhark alphabet on its granite surface.
First documented by Johannes Bureus in 1594, this sixth-century stone contains Proto-Norse text and remains among the earliest examples of runic writing.
The inscription includes uninterpretable text 'mwsïeij' and 'sïainaz', providing linguistic evidence of early Germanic language development.
Located at coordinates 60.030278, 18.070583, the stone site includes four surrounding fragments within a former cemetery setting.
The stone displays a carved figure with outstretched arms, connecting to similar representations found on bronze mounts across Scandinavia.
