Location[edit]

"originally located at the Allhelgona church" is misleading if the church, as I surmise, postdates the runestone. Was the church erected to Christianize pagan ground?--Wetman (talk) 19:49, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the lead is misleading. The stone was found in the ruins of the All Saints Monastery, where Allhelgonakyrkan, built in 1891, now stands.

This sentence could perhaps be improved:

Since 1957 the runestone has been located outside of the library at the Lund University.

Note 9 says that in 1957 the stone was moved into the university library. It has been in the lobby for a long time, but I'm not sure if that was its original location in the library.

On Allhelgonaklostret.
