Silarps bro

Just south of Dalum, on the right hand side of the road, is this rune stone :
Refr and Vésteinn raised this stone in memory of Þorsteinn, their father.
Vg 175
The first name, Refr = Räv, means fox. It´s not used anymore, but Björn (- bear) and Ulf (earlier Ulv - wolf) are still common names. The stone was used as building material in a bridge, close to where it now stands.
And just across the road, there is an Iron Age grave-field with a dozen small barrows.
