Robin Hood and Little John Stones
(formerly listed under Ferry Road)

II
These stones were apparently set up to mark a privilege roadway free of toll for the cartage of Barnack stone to Gunwade Ferry for shipment via the River Nene for the building of Bury St Edmund's Abbey. Arrow head nicks at the top of each are supposed to be in memory of St Edmund, to which tradition has attached a story of Robin Hood and Little John having shot arrows to these spots. No trace of arrow head markings has been identified. Scheduled Monument
