<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Runestones''' are monumental stones raised by the [[Norse]] peoples, usually commonly carved with artwork and distinctive Norse [[rune]]s. These stones were often monuments to great warriors or used to mark battlefields.<br />
<br />
In the [[SCA]] '''The Runestone''' refers to a small, carved limestone block about halfway up [[Cardiac Hill]] at [[Cooper's Lake]]. The stone, located beneath pleasantly shaded trees, marks the traditional "defender's line" on the old [[Pennsic]] battlefield, now used for camping.<br />
<br />
The inscription on the Runestone, now badly deteriorated, is a reminder to [[SCAdian]]s to fight with [[chivalry]] and [[honour]].<br />
<br />
Many people leave offerings at the Runestone and treat it with great reverence. At the 35th Pennsic War a considerable area of open space was left clear around the Runestone and marked "Runestone Park" on the map.<br />
