| A 'Thing', or open-air meeting place where Vikings gathered to discuss the law, was discovered in the Birklands, Sherwood Forest, five years ago. In January 2011 experts plan to survey the hill and see if they can detect signs of buried archaeology and the extent of the site. |

I've done a site page. Coldrum spotted this two years ago but the rest of us missed it so thanks for finding it again.
