Tullstorp Picture Stone DR271
(January 30, 2025) The Tullstorp runestone is a 1.70 meters high and 1.35 meters wide. It now stands in the cemetery at the church in the village Tullstorp, Sweden around 7 kilometers northeast of Klagstorp.
The original site of the Tullstorp Runestone is unknown. It was first noted in 1624 when it was installed in the wall of a church, and rediscovered when the old church in Tullstorp was torn down in 1846. Before the historical significance of runestones was understood, they were often used as materials in the construction of buildings, walls, and roads. The stone first ended up in the wall surrounding the church yard, later it was moved to the current position inside the church yard.
The dragon seems to represent astrology magic which within limits is able to modify the powers of fate from the planets.
