Abstract/Summary

A Geophysical Resistance Survey was undertaken on the north- eastern side of Hanger Hill. Hanger Hill is the site of Thynghowe, which is identified as a Viking age Assembly Site in Sherwood Forest. An area 60 metres x 60 metres was surveyed using and RM16 Resistance meter. Results showed the summit of Thynghowe to consist of high-resistance responses, which could be caused by pebbles in an human-constructed ‘mound’, or as a result of artificially steepening of the slope around the summit by quarrying. Results of the survey include multiple anomalies illustrating earthworks and areas of pot-boiler stone deposits.
