Sandavágur stone, Norse runestone in Sandavágur, Faroe Islands.
The medieval stone displays runic inscriptions carved on its surface and stands protected inside the Sandavágur Church at present.
Discovered in 1917, this thirteenth-century stone carries text about Þorkell Ǫnundr's son from Rogaland, Norway, who first settled in this location.
The stone represents Norse settlement patterns and maintains documentation of early Faroese inhabitants through its runic writing system.
Visitors can examine the stone's inscriptions during church opening hours, with natural daylight providing the best conditions for viewing the carvings.
The inscription confirms the connection between Norwegian settlers and the Faroe Islands through precise geographical references to Rogaland.
