The Runic Stone

  • Runic stone, Sandavágur
  • Runic stone, Sandavágur

The runic stone is an ancient finding from around year 1200.
The stone is kept and preserved in the church of Sandavágur.

In the spring of 1917, a local farmer named Martin á Mýruni discovered an ancient runic stone in the area Eingjatoftir, between Sandar and Steig, in Sandavágur.

The Runic Stone was from about year 1200. Mikkjal á Ryggi, the famous local writer, translated the ancient writing on The Runic Stone into Faroese. The translation reads:

 "Torkil Onundarson eystmaður av Rogalandi bygdi henda stað fyrst"

which can be translated into something like: “Torkil Onundarson from Rogalandi built this place first”
