The Runic Stone
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”
