The Sherwood Villages Project: Settlement Development in the Forest

The Sherwood Villages Project has been designed to research and interpret the settlement pattern, development and dynamics in Sherwood Forest.

The Project involves historic mapping, LiDAR, documentary research, GIS mapping, and archaeological fieldwork including test-pitting in villages.

The project has been running since 2013.


Below are some photographs from excavations as part of the project:
