Descripción del sitio
Originally located nearby and moved due to modern roads, this well was originally near the site of a Robin Hood's stone that had been referenced in a source from 1422. That now vanished Robin Hood's Stone is the earliest known Robin Hood place name. The well is located in the Barnsdale area that was Robin's base of operations in some of the early ballads. (Appendix IV of Dobson and Taylor's Rymes of Robyn Hood lists dozens of Robin Hood's wells, stones, caves, etc.)
