Bärby, Simtuna
Missing.

Size: 2.20 m x 1.50 m

The original inscription:
Unu--r reste sten denna efter Gammal, broder sin.

The inscription in English:
Unu--r raised this stone in memory of Gammal, his brother.

Kalle Runemaster
The stone was taken from its original location around 1837 to be used as a foundation for a chimney in one of the houses of Bärby, however not in the main house which was demolished in 1911. No rune stone was discovered then.

Bärby has been rebuilt since and many elements have been moved and added. It would therefore be rather difficult to figure out which of the houses was built on top of the runestone.

I hope that the people of Bärby will keep an eye open because somewhere under their feet, there's a big runestone carved by Erik.

Below, you can see an article in Swedish on U 1153, taken from the book Upplands Runskrifter.
