Skramlestenen, Norse runestone in Gunnarskog, Sweden

The Skramlestenen stands as a granite monument featuring runic inscriptions, located at specific coordinates 59.81192 latitude and 12.57576 longitude in Arvika Municipality.

Archaeological excavations in 1993 revealed this runestone at the Skramle farm site, which had remained uninhabited since the time of the Black Death.

The stone contains Proto-Norse runes dating between 520 and 570 CE, making it one of only twenty similar stones found throughout Sweden.

Visitors can find the runestone displayed at the Gunnarskog Homestead Museum, where interpretative materials explain its historical context and significance.

The inscription includes the partial text 'ᛟᚦᚨ ᚨᛁᛅᚱᛁ᛫ᚠᚨᚱᛉᚨᛁᛟ', interpreted as 'Othawin carved, I know of danger'.
