Anundstenen, Norse runestone in Västerås Municipality, Sweden
The Anundstenen stands 2.5 meters tall on a burial mound, featuring carved Norse runes that document ancient Scandinavian writings and traditions.
The stone dates from the Viking Age and contains inscriptions stating 'Folkvid raised all of these stones after his son Heden, Anund's brother'.
The monument represents early Scandinavian writing systems and forms part of a larger archaeological site containing multiple burial mounds and stones.
Located near main roads in Västmanland, the stone includes informational markers and maintained pathways for visitors to examine the runic inscriptions.
The stone's position atop a burial mound indicates its dual purpose as both a memorial marker and a territorial boundary designation.
