Rune Stone found at Kallerstad,
Linköping, Östergötland. Moved to Östergötland County Museum. This rune stone found in 1950 and raised outside the Östergötland County Museum in Linköping. The stone is of granite and has a height of about 3 m above the ground and a width of 1,43 m. The stone was found on May the 4th, 1950 at the estate of Kallerstad estate in the municipality of Linköping when this area was exploited for industry purposes. The place is situated about 200 m south-east of the bridge at Nykvarn over the river Stångån. The stone lay with the front side downwards. Probably the discovery site, which also is the place where the stone once was raised, was close to an ancient important road. The runes read: |

Han var död i England, Helgas son.

of] Vigfast, their father. He was dead in England, the son of Helga)". |
