[edit] Summary

Description

Runestone from Snoldelev, East Zealand, Denmark, now housed at the National Museum of Denmark.

Translation of the runic inscription provided by the National Museum:

Gunvald's stone, son of Roald, thul in Salløv (on the salvmounds).

According to the display:

The inscription is from the 8th century with some older runeforms (distinguished as H, A). Probably thul is a speaker, a reciter (?). The rune stone was found circa 1775 and brought to Copenhagen 1811. Archaeological investigations 1986 revealed an early Viking-Age cemetery, which seems to have had connections with the rune stone. The swastika and the triskele of three drinking horns are of the same date as the inscription, but the big wheel-cross is Bronze Age.
