Runestones at Aspa

Sö Fv1948;289 and Sö 141 at Aspa bridge

The Runestones at Aspa are a set of four runestones located at Aspa, about six kilometers north of Runtuna, Södermanland, Sweden, where a road has passed a creek since prehistoric times. One of the stones, Sö Fv1948;289, is the oldest surviving native Scandinavian source that mentions the Kingdom of Sweden beside the runestones DR 344 and DR 216.[1] Another stone, Sö 137, was apparently raised in memory of a Viking who had spent time in the west.
