Summary

[edit]
Description

Runestone U478 located at Knivsta south of Uppsala, 11th century (type: Pr1, carving made by Torbjörn).

The stone reads: Ástríðr lét reisa stein þenna eptir Jóar/Ívar, bónda sinn, ok Ingvarr ok Ingifastr eptir fôður sinn. Mikjáll gæti ônd hans.

Translation of inscription: Ástríðr had this stone raised in memory of Jóarr/Ívarr, her husbandman; and Ingvarr and Ingifastr in memory of their father. May Michael protect his spirit.

Curiosity note: if you are travelling by train from Uppsala to Stockholm you should be able to get a quick glimpse of the runestone. It is located on the the left side near the railtrack just before Knivsta station.
