Runestone of the week

This is runestone number U 281. It is standing near the homestead of Gunne (Gunnes Gard) at Upplands Väsby to the north of Stockholm, Sweden. In the neighborhood there are several stones evidently raised by members of the same family which lived at the original homestead . Traces of their home were found when a new stretching of the motorway between Stockholm and Uppsala was planned.

The translation of the text on the stones runs:

"Vibjörn and Huskarl had this stone raised after Sibbe, their father".
