Context and Discovery ⓘThe stone was found by the farmer O.V. Ohlson, incorporated into a stone enclosure, where he also discovered the picture stone fragments GP 124 Grötlingbo Roes III and GP 125 Grötlingbo Roes IV. The modern stone enclosure (tun) was located next to a stone mound (röse) on the property of the ʻRoes gårdʼ, south-west of the farmstead. The find spot is situated in the most-northern part of the large Late Iron Age necropolis of Barshalder (Rundkvist 2003). Ohlsen reported the finds to Gotlands Museum in 1934 (ATA 3321/34). After that, he moved them to his garden in Roes, where he kept them for several years. In 1940, the three stones were moved to the nearby medieval farmstead and open-air museum in Kattlunds, which is affiliated with Gotlands Museum (ATA 2993/40).

Measurements, Material and Condition ⓘThe rectangular limestone slab, which appears to represent the lowermost part of a relatively small picture stone, is between 7.5 and 9 cm thick and measures 47.5 x 49 cm. One of the original lateral edges and the stone’s root seem to be preserved. The surface is rough and weathered.
Description of Ornament and Images ⓘThere are no traces of carvings discernible on the stone. Lindqvist reproduces a photo taken by M. Stenberger in 1940 (1941/42 II, fig. 365, cf. ATA Run- och bildstenssamling A183:201).
Interpretation of the Imagery ⓘNo interpretation
Type and Dating ⓘThe fragment probably represents the lowermost part of a dwarf stone. Its type cannot be determined with certainty. Lindqvist, however, regards the monument as a late-type picture stone, “Abschnitt” C/D or E (1941/42 I, p. 44). Thus, it can only be roughly dated to between the 8th century and around AD 1100. Ultimately, however, the stone could also represent a Type B monument, dating to AD 500 to 700.
