Thynghowe, Viking assembly site in Sherwood Forest, England.
The archaeological site of Thynghowe sits at the summit of Hanger Hill, where three ancient parish boundaries intersect within Sherwood Forest in Nottinghamshire.
Local historians Stuart Reddish and Lynda Mallett rediscovered this lost Viking assembly place in 2005, leading to its inclusion in the English Historic England Archive.
The name Thynghowe combines Old Norse words, with 'thyng' meaning assembly and 'howe' referring to a mound, reflecting the Norse influence in medieval England.
Visitors can access Thynghowe through walking trails in the Birklands area of Sherwood Forest, where clear signage marks the paths to the historical site.
The location features a preserved assembly mound at the intersection of three parishes, marking where medieval communities gathered to resolve disputes and make decisions.
