Sö 346
A fragment of a rune stone that is pretty much covered in lichen and moss. Gerstaberg is situated about 5-6 km south of Södertälje.

Ingiþóra and Eysteinn and Hásteinn (and) Holmsteinn, they had the stone raised in memory of Frœkn and in memory of Bjórsteinn, Frœkn's and Ingiþóra's son. May God and God's mother help their spirits, of the father and son! Ásbjôrn carved and Ulfr painted.
Sö 347
This is a very tall rune stone with much text on it. It was lying face down in the garden of Gerstaberg. They were doing some work there in the end of the 19th century, and this stone had to be removed, so they smashed it to four pieces of similar size, to make it easier to move it. Then they saw the runes, mended the stone and raised it near the entrance to the property.
