Knowledge of runic writing reached the Nordic countries, as early as the 3:rd century A.D. After 400 A.D. it began to be used for inscriptions on stones. The stone was usually put up to commemorate a dead person or some great deed.
The inscription reads:
"Skammals and Olov had these marks made after Sven, their father. God save his soul."
