- Robin Hood's Butt. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-08-26. Revised by … Robin Hood's Butt in Askerton parish, Cumberland, is a turf-covered mound, c. 13 m in diameter and up to 1.9 m in height. The mound, with some stone debris, is what remains of a Roman signal station which stood on the west side of the Maiden Way, a Roman Road from Birdoswald (by Hadrian's Wall) to Bewcastle. The foundations of a nearly square tower can be seen at the top. Based on the amount of debris it has been suggested that it was about 6 m high. Its walls of regularly coursed c. 85 cm thick stones were 3.5 to 6 m. wide externally. When the station was active, there was a ditch or drainage channel round the building, with a little causeway over or through it on the east side. The stone for the tower was supplied by two small quarries only 50 m to the west. Pastscape: Robin Hood's Butt. Robin Hood's Butt is first mentioned in 1598 (see Record below).

- By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2022-05-05. Revised by … A widely visible New Forest landmark and arguably the most prominent archaeological feature on Ibsley Common, Robin Hood's Butt or Clump on a ridge overlooking Chibden and Brogenslade Bottoms is a distinctive clump of 18 pine trees crowning a supposed Bronze Age disc barrow. The name 'Robin Hood's Butt' first appears on a 6" O.S. map of the area published in 1872. Robin Hood's Butt is a scheduled monument. The fairly small Scots pines currently making up the clump are said to have been planted in 1931 to replace previous trees destroyed by fire. The trees grow within a circular embankment whose interior is raised c. 40 cm above an outside ditch probably dug to provide materials for the earthwork. The diameter of the circular embankment is just over 10 metres and that of the ditch 15 metres. Although the earthwork is similar in form to others that are simply planting rings, according to English Heritage, Robin Hood's Butt …8 KB (1,145 words) - 16:43, 8 May 2022

In addition to Wakefield, townships within the manor included Stansfield, Heptonstall, Northowram, Hipperholme, Brighouse, Clifton, Hartshead, Dewsbury, Ossett, Sandal, Walton, Holme, Shepley, etc. (see map of the estate). An almost unbroken series of records of the manorial court exists from 1274 to 1925, when the manor was dissolved. See Yorkshire Archaeological Society: Wakefield Court Rolls.

- North: Robin Hood's Butt, Elford. South: general area where Robin Hood's Butt, Wigginton, may have been located. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2020-10-28. Revised by … The mound now generally known as 'Elford Low', situated on the east side of Tamworth Road (A513), c. 800 m south-southeast of the village of Elford, had the alternative name of 'Robin Hood's Butt' according to local historians writing in the late 18th to mid-19th century. Another, now unidentifiable, mound situated three or four kilometres southwest of it was known under the same name. It was said, during the first half of the 19th century, that Robin Hood used to shoot arrows from one to the other. They were known collectively, therefore, as 'Robin Hood's Shooting Butts'. Robin Hood's Butts in Elford and Wigginton were first noted by Stebbing Shaw in his History and Antiquities of Staffordshire (1798). Shaw, Stebbing 1798a, vol. I, p. 432.

- Butt Hill or Robin Hood Butts, about midway between Bentham and Clapham in Craven. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2014-09-05. Revised by … But Hill, c. 3.6 km E of Bentham and c. 3.8 km W of Clapham, in Craven, also known as 'Robin Hood But', Robin Hood Butts or Robin Hoods's Butt, is probably a natural feature. The name 'Robin Hood Butts' is first recorded with reference to this locality in the 1738 parish register of Thornton-in-Lonsdale. Chippingdall, William Harold 1931a. Not seen, but cf. Smith, Albert Hugh 1961a, pt. VI, p. 241. 'Robin Hood But' is included on Jeffery's Map of Yorkshire, prepared 1771 and published the following year (see Maps section and image gallery below). The hill or mound is probably a natural feature but was tentatively included, under the name 'Robin Hood's Butt', in a list of mottes which was published in 1889. It is noted there that it 'is a mound, but its character is doubtful'. Clark, George T 1889a, see p. 207, where the mound is incorrectly …5 KB (744 words) - 02:33, 30 May 2021
- Robin Hood's Caves. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-01-13. Revised by … Robin Hood's Cave is located at the eastern perimeter of Rock Cemetery in Nottingham, immediately west of Mansfield Road (A60). In the mid-19th century, as the area was being cleared and excavated to establish the cemetery, local clergyman George Oliver – in this very much a child of his time – was convinced that several of the caves found there, including Robin Hood's Cave, were part of an ancient druid temple. Nottingham Hidden History Team: Rev. George Oliver and Nottingham’s Druid Temple by Frank E. Earp. Reality has a habit of being prosaic. The caves were in fact a by-product of mining, during the 18th century and earlier, for sandstone which was ground to yield sand. Waltham, Tony 1994a. Until the cemetery was created, the area where Robin Hood's Cave is located was known as the Ropewalk as rope was made here (see Thomas Moore's painting reproduced below). In 1892, when the sand …5 KB (702 words) - 20:59, 22 March 2021
