Robin Hood's Well on Penhill. The marker indicates the source of the well. With the map in satellite view and sufficiently zoomed in, it is possible to discern the course of the well, and the cairn can be clearly seen c. 100 m NW of the well.

By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-01-11. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-12-05.

The earliest record I have found of Robin Hood's Well, located high on the east side of Penhill in Wensleydale, is the 6" O.S. map of the area published in 1856.[1] The well is a "natural spring [which] emerges from the hillside running over a few small stones at first but then making its way beneath a slab of rock and plunging down the slopes between rough grass and bracken. Just above the well and overshadowing it is a healthy hawthorn tree, the only surviving one on this exposed shoulder of the hill."[2] Dobson & Taylor note it as "[a] well at the source of a hill stream on Melmerby Moor south of Wensleydale".[3]
