On the stone is written: "Ingwald erected this stone in memory of Grinulf, his son." The original location is unknown as the stone was found during the reconstruction of Månstad Bridge in the late 19th century. (Source: kulturvagen.se/runsten-i-manstad)

The runestone VG 190, also known as Grimulv's stone, was found in 1905 in Månstad, Västergötland, Sweden. At the time, it was broken into two pieces and used as part of a bridge foundation, with the runes facing downwards.
The stone is dated to the Viking Age, specifically the 11th century.
The inscription, written in Old Norse, is clear and states: "Ingjald placed this stone in memory of Grimulv, his son."
