This magnificient rune stone is raised in a grave field, "Kungshögen" about 500 m north-east of Härna Church in Västergötland. This stone of granite is usually called "Kungsstenen (the King's stone)" or "Bules sten (Bule's stone)" . The height is 3,85m width 0,75m. It was the highest known rune stone in Västergötland before the stone at Levene was found in 1927.

The runes read:
 

 

   
 


BULI RESþI STIN þONSI EFTIR BULU MAG SIN.


This means:  "Buli reste denna sten efter Bulu, sin måg. (In English: Buli raised this stone after Bulu, his son-in-law)".
