Hoe Hill, Fulletby: aerial 2022 (1) See: <span class="nowrap"><a title="https://www.heritagegateway.org.uk/Gateway/Results_Single.aspx?uid=MLI81838&resourceID=1006" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="https://www.heritagegateway.org.uk/Gateway/Results_Single.aspx?uid=MLI81838&resourceID=1006">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span>

The hill forms a ridge, almost detached from the main outcrops to the west, of Lower Cretaceous rocks protruding eastwards into the Lymn Valley.

The top of Hoe Hill is capped by a hard, brown ferruginous limestone known by geologists as the Carstone not Chalk, which is of Upper Cretaceous age. This hard protective capping has preserved the hill shape as the River Lymn has eroded its way down through the succession. Below this capping the main slope of the hill is formed of softer mudstones and clays of the Tealby Formation. The base of the hill is formed of Claxby Ironstone. Below this hard basal unit is the Spilsby Sandstone Formation which is exposed over much of the Lymn Valley sides and is hidden beneath alluvial sediments in the valley bottom and tributary valleys.
