Runestone U 112 is a two-sided runestone inscribed on a movable boulder measuring 5 metres wide, 3 metres high, with a depth of 3–4 metres and a circumference of 18 metres. The inscriptions were made in the late 11th or early 12th century. The stone has been known from written sources since the 16th century, when it was described by the antiquarians Johannes Bureus and Martin Aschaneus.
The two runic inscriptions are located on the west and south sides of the stone. They feature dragon loops in the Urnes style, with runic bands approximately 8 cm in height.
The inscription on the west side measures approximately 190 cm in height and 90 cm in width.
The inscription on the south side is approximately 190 cm tall and 110 cm wide.
The stone is a so-called Greece Runestone, commemorating a person connected to travels to the Byzantine Empire.
