Day 3 - Södermanland

Sö 360 - Blacksta

Jun 13, 2021

Blacksta, Södermanland, Sweden

Broken in half, but still standing. The runestone Sö 360 is not confirmed to be an Ingvar runestone, as the end of the inscription is missing.

The runes are in two parallel bands, and there is a cross in the middle.
