Robin's Tump.
By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-06-06. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2021-01-06.
Robin's Tump is a small bowl barrow in the parish of Cardington (Shropshire), c. 750 m WNW of the hamlet of Willstone. Margaret Gelling, in the English Place-Name Society's first volume on Shropshire, explains the name as "probably an allusion to Robin Hood, who appears fairly frequently in Sa[lop] minor names".[1]
The Tump is "situated on the top of a west to east spur below the summit of Caer Caradoc Hill",[2]. This small, relatively well-preserved Bronze Age barrow is circular in plan, has a diameter of c. 9 m and a maximum height of c. 80 cm.[2]
The earliest references I have found for this place-name so far are the 25" and 6" O.S. maps of the area published in 1883 (see Maps section below).
