Hunnestad Monument, Norse runestone monument in Lund Municipality, Sweden
The Hunnestad Monument contains eight stones, including five image stones and two with runic inscriptions, displaying Norse craftsmanship and writing traditions.
The monument originated around 1000 AD and stood at Marsvinsholm until Eric Ruuth demolished it during modernization efforts between 1782 and 1786.
The stones feature Norse mythology elements, including depictions of a figure identified as Hyrrokkin riding a wolf and a potential Varangian Guard member.
Three of the original stones are exhibited at the Kulturen museum in Lund, while a fourth stone was discovered in 2020 during bridge excavations.
This monument ranks among Scania's most substantial Viking Age structures, comparable in significance to Denmark's Jelling stones.
