Archaeological_site in England, dating from the Early Medieval
Thing Mound (også kaldet Thingmount) i Little Langdale, Cumbria, er en oval kunstig høj der menes at have været et norrønt tingsted. Højen ligger i et område med stærk norrøn navnetradition i det engelske Lake District. Den er ca. 15 meter i diameter og 1,5 meter høj. Stedet vidner om den norrøne bosættelse i Nordvestengland i 900–1000-tallet.
