Robin Hood's Well in Extwistle, c. 400 meters west of Black CLough Head is or was named after Robin Hood's House or vice versa. The well is located eight or ten meters north-east of the House.
Robin Hood's Well in Extwistle is thus labelled in a 6" O.S. map published 1848 and based on a survey carried out in 1844 (see maps below). Later 6" O.S. maps include Robin Hood's House but not the well. The House is at the eastern edge of a 25" O.S. map and the Well at the western edge fo a neighbouring sheet. No edition of the latter is online as of 10 Feb. 2019.Template:PnItemQry
