Hogganvik runestone, Norse runestone in Lindesnes, Norway

The Hogganvik runestone measures 1.5 square meters and weighs 800 kilograms, displaying 62 runic characters on its surface.

The fifth-century stone inscription was discovered in September 2009 by Arnfinn Henriksen while working in his garden in Hogganvik.

The inscription contains personal names like Naudigastiz and features sequences representing alphabet magic common in early Germanic traditions.

The archaeological site sits at coordinates 58.037552 latitude and 7.36496 longitude, accessible through the Sånum-Lundevik area.

The stone's face-down position at discovery preserved its Proto-Norse inscription, making it one of the longest known texts from 350-500 CE.
