Description
Burestenen is located in the Kvissle-Nolby-Prästbolet region near the Ljungan's outlet into the Gulf of Bothnia, south of Sundsvall. The area has a unique concentration of historic and prehistoric artifacts. Burestenen lies beside the ruins of a manor chapel from the Early Middle Ages. Also in the vicinity is a collection of Viking Age graves and twelve large tumuli from the Swedish Migration Period, of which one is Norrland's largest.
In addition to its runic inscription, it has some crosses marking the Christianization of the 11th century Medelpad. Based on its animal ornamentation, it is classified as being in Ringerike style, runestone style Pr1, dated to c. 1020–1050. The inscription is signed by the runemaster Fartägn.
