This inscription consists of runic text in the
Younger Futhark carved on a serpent that circles and then becomes intertwined with other serpents in the center. A
Christian cross is at the top of the granite stone, which is in height. The inscription is classified as being carved in
runestone style Pr4, which is also known as
Urnes style. This runestone style is characterized by slim and stylized animals that are interwoven into tight patterns. The animal heads are typically seen in profile with slender almond-shaped eyes and upwardly curled appendages on the noses and the necks. The runic inscription states that the stone is a memorial raised by Ulfkell in memory of his brother Freysteinn, and possibly in a damaged section mentions the name of the father of Freysteinn. The name Ulfkell is a shortened form of the name Ulfketill, which combines two common Viking Age name elements that mean "Wolf Cauldron". The brother's name, Freysteinn, contains the name of the
Norse pagan god
Freyr as a
theophoric name element and means "Freyr's Stone". ==Inscription==
