Ting Mound

The Ting Mound or Thing Moot at Fellfoot Farm, Little Langdale, England is a natural mound which has been deliberately terraced. It is situated close to a Roman road and other transport routes through the Cumbrian mountains.〔The Roman road links the forts at Ambleside and Hardknott.〕 It is believed that the mound was used as an open-air meeting place for local government. A Thing, from the Old Norse ''þing'', was a type of early assembly found throughout Northern Europe.
The mound is very similar to the Tynwald Mount on the Isle of Man. It is believed to have been established by Viking settlers, who have left a legacy of Norse toponyms in the Langdales, and possibly built some of the dry-stone walls which are a feature of the landscape. The monument possibly dates from the tenth century, although it has not been dated archaeologically.〔
Towards the end of the nineteenth century the site attracted the interest of local antiquarians. It was described by H.S. Cowper (see note) and painted by W.G. Collingwood.〔(In Search of Vikings: Interdisciplinary Approaches to the Scandinavian Heritage... )〕
