Hargs bro runic inscriptions, Norse runestone group in Skånela socken, Sweden

The Hargs bro runic inscriptions consist of three stone carvings labeled U 309, U 310, and U 311, situated near a bridge in Uppland.

During the period 1060-1100, Estrid commissioned these stones as memorials to her husband Ingvar and stepson Ragnvald while constructing a bridge.

The inscriptions demonstrate Norse memorial traditions where family members created permanent stone markers to honor their deceased relatives through runic text.

Visitors can reach the runestones by walking along a forest path from the Harsbro bus stop, following directional signs to the carved bedrock location.

The stones form part of the Jarlabanke clan monuments, featuring inscriptions by three brothers commemorating their father and displaying connections to local power structures.
