Eggja stone

Runic inscription on the Eggja stone (ca. 600–700 c.e) from Sogndal, Norway.

The Eggja stone (also known as the Eggum or Eggjum stone), listed as N KJ101 in the Rundata catalog, is a grave stone with a runic inscription that was ploughed up in 1917 on the farm Eggja[1] in Sogndal, Nordre Bergenhus amt (now in Vestland county), Norway.

  1. ^ The toponym is the plural of egg "edge; mountain ridge" (compare Besseggen). The form Eggjum would be the dative; the form used on modern official Norwegian maps is Eggja.
