Runic inscription U 1113 is the Rundata catalog number for a fragmentary Viking Age runestone that is located at Häggeby, which is about 1 kilometer west of Björklinge, Uppland, Sweden.

This runestone style is characterized by slim and stylized animals that are interwoven into tight patterns. The animal heads are typically seen in profile with slender almond-shaped eyes and upwardly curled appendages on the noses and the necks. The fragmentary runic text on this stone, which is 1 meter in height, has only one word, biarnhufþi ..., which has been translated as the name Bjarnhǫfði. There is another Uppland inscription, U 1045, which is one of the Björklinge runestones, that is located about 1 kilometer to the east at the church in Björklinge which has the same name on its inscription.

It was the main centre of the Swedes.During the Middle Ages, it was the largest village of Uppland, the eastern part of which probably originally formed the core of the complex of properties belonging to the Swedish Crown, the so-called Uppsala öd, of which the western part consisted of the royal estate itself, kungsgården.It was also the location of the Thing of all Swedes which was a thing (general assembly) held from prehistoric times to the Middle Ages, at the end of February or early March. It was held in conjunction with a great fair called Disting, and a Norse religious celebration called Dísablót. The Law of Uppland says that it was at this assembly that the king proclaimed that the fleet levy would be summoned for warfare during the summer, and all the crews, rowers, commanders and ships were decided.It was not only the Norse cultic centre, it also became Sweden's archbishopric in 1164.
