  Portal Stone at Nittorp Church, Municipality of Tranemo, Västergötland, Sweden

This sculptured soapstone, ornamented with a cross on a shaft and an arched rope, has belonged to Nittorp old church. The stone was found in 1869 by Baron Djurkloi at the adjacent bridge over the river Daltorpsån. Today it is placed at the new church in Nittorp.

The runes are so damaged so no one has so far succeeded to interpret them.
