Uppland Runic Inscription 13, Viking runestone fragment at Husby burial ground in Ekerö, Sweden.

The granite fragment measures 65 centimeters in height, 80 centimeters in width, and contains runes that are 10 centimeters tall.

The stone fragment sits atop Björn Ironside's burial mound, the largest elevation within a Vendel Period cemetery containing 150 ancient remains.

The weathered runic inscription on the stone forms part of the extensive collection of Uppland runestones, documenting Norse communication methods.

The burial ground extends 540 meters in length and contains numerous mounds measuring between 6 to 20 meters in diameter.

A drawing from the 1700s by Carl Ludvig von Schantz confirms that this runestone fragment remains in its original position.
