The Järsberg Rune Stone (Swedish Järsbergstenen) stands in Järsberg, south of Kristinehamn in the province of Värmland in Sweden.

This pillar-like runestone dates back to the 6th century, hailing from the Iron Age, making it one of Sweden’s most ancient stones. Its discovery in 1862, partially obscured by soil, occurred as it lay in a field. Initially mistaken for a fence post by the farmer, its significance was soon recognized.

Legend has it that this runestone once stood alongside an unmarked companion within a stone circle. Though its upper portion is lost to time, efforts to recover it have proven fruitless. Crafted from reddish gneiss granite, the remaining section boasts an impressive height of 1.85 meters, with a total length of 2.2 meters as confirmed by a 1975 examination.

The inscription, though incomplete, divides scholars as they debate the direction in which the runes should be read.

According to an information plaque, the inscription reads: “Ljuv (?) is my name. Ravn is my name. I, Eril, inscribe the runes.”
