5/144 Robin Hood and
Little John stones
- II
Two field boundary stones. Probably C19, replacing earlier stones.
Roughly tooled gritstone. Stones, approximately 0.6 metre high, consisting
of cylindrical columns with circular flat caps. Cap rims inscribed: ROBIN
HOOD CLOSE and LITTLE JOHN CLOSE respectively. The field names thus
designated are said to derive from a legendary archery contest between
Robin Hood and Little John. However, it is also thought that the name
Robin Hood is a corruption of the hobgoblin, Robin Goodfellow. Included
for historical interest. S.White, Standing Stones and Earthworks on the
North York Moors, 1987; p.45.
