"originally located at the Allhelgona church" is misleading if the church, as I surmise, postdates the runestone. Was the church erected to Christianize pagan ground?--Wetman (talk) 19:49, 5 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
Yes, the lead is misleading. The stone was found in the ruins of the All Saints Monastery, where Allhelgonakyrkan, built in 1891, now stands.
Since 1957 the runestone has been located outside of the library at the Lund University.
Note 9 says that in 1957 the stone was moved into the university library. It has been in the lobby for a long time, but I'm not sure if that was its original location in the library.
