The reason that they used runestones for other buildings, were that there were a lot of them all around. Some were made into gravel, others for bridges, and some like this one were used for at church. So yes, it is sad and cruel
The only well known, and surely original, runestone that is found from Finland is piece of some bigger runestone. It is originally from scandinavia and it is probably used as one of the ballast stones of some sailing ship, that's how it ended up into some haven in there.
Is there really no more than that in Finland? I thought there would be more
I think I have to search a bit more outside Scandinavia, when it comes to the viking age
I have a lot of book about runestones, but never once it struck me
that there never were any reference to runestones in Finland.
And as you say there must have been a big difference back then.
