 The monument was destroyed during the end of the 18th century by Eric Ruuth of Marsvinsholm, probably between 1782 and 1786 when the estate was undergoing sweeping modernization, though the monument survived long enough to be documented and depicted.When the antiquary Ole Worm (1588–1654) explored the monument, it consisted of eight stones.Five of them were image stones, and two of those image stones also had runic inscriptions.
