Grillby, Sörskog, Villberga
The runestone was raised about 1.6 km south of Grillby.

Size: 1.78 m x 0.80 m

The original inscription:
Kvigbjörn reste sten denna efter Torsten broder sin.

The inscription in English:
Kvigbjörn raised this stone in memory of Torsten, his brother.

Thanks to old drawings, the whole inscription can be interpreted.

This stone was well executed. Judging from the remains, it seems to have been well planned. It was one of Erik’s best stones.

The head is cone shaped and even, the eyes are round and of equal size. The tongue, which usually enters the head through the snout, is missing. Maybe raking light could reveal this detail.

The arms of the cross as well as the blades are unusually even and well placed. The ring at the centre of the cross could have been made rounder and more even.

Below, you can see an article in Swedish on U 732, taken from the book Upplands Runskrifter.
