The Standing Stones 'Robin Hood' and 'Little John'

Scheduled monument

What is recorded here

The National Heritage List for England records The Standing Stones 'Robin Hood' and 'Little John' as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Likely dating to the Bronze Age (c. 2500–800 BCE), the stones may have been used for ritual or ceremonial purposes. Their names link them to later medieval folklore, though this may reflect a 19th-century romanticisation rather than original function.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
