Originally standing near the bridge, it dates from the mid 11th century and is the only rune stone in Sweden which mentions Christianity. The inscription reads, Östman Gudfast's son had this stone raised and this bridge made and christianised Jämtland. Åsbjörn made the bridge, Tryn carved and Sten made the runes.
