Gummarp Runestone, Norse runestone in Sölvesborg Municipality, Sweden

The Gummarp Runestone bears inscriptions using Elder Futhark runes, featuring text about an individual named Haþuwulfar and three distinct staves marked as fff.

Created between 500-700 AD, this ancient monument was discovered in 1728 and later transported to Copenhagen, where it perished during the city fire that year.

The inscription reflects Norse naming conventions and social hierarchy, with references to chieftainship through the use of specific runic symbols representing wealth.

Located at coordinates 56.0734 latitude and 14.6089 longitude, the original site of the runestone remains accessible within the Blekinge region of Sweden.

Three repetitive f-runes on the stone connect it to the Stentoften and Istaby runestones, suggesting a regional pattern in runic inscriptions during the Vendel era.

Location: Sölvesborg Municipality

Part of: Blekinge runestones
