Tips from the Community
In Hamneda (Sweden), two runestones are located in the Elinge Gravfält on the eastern slope of the northern of the two hills. The stones are not in their original location, but were found in the walls of the present-day church ruins of Hamneda after the church was demolished in 1894. The two stones are dated to around 1,000 AD and date from the early Viking Age, around 800 AD, when the burial ground was created and used until Christianization in the 11th century.
