Hillersjö stone, Norse runestone in Ekerö Municipality, Sweden.

The Hillersjö stone measures 2.8 by 1.0 meters and features runic text carved on an intertwined serpent pattern across its surface.

The inscription narrates the story of Gerlög and her daughter Inga, documenting multiple marriages and inheritances during the Viking Age in Sweden.

The stone displays the Urnes style decoration with stylized animals woven into patterns, representing the artistic traditions of medieval Scandinavian culture.

Located four kilometers north of Stenhamra on Färingsö, the stone remains accessible for researchers and visitors interested in Norse history.

This runestone contains the longest runic inscription found in Uppland and holds the second position for length among all Swedish runestones.
