Robin Hood's Pasture, possibly identical with Robin Hood Close.
Of the three red dots, the top left one indicates the possible, and the top right one the probable, location of Robin Hood's Mill. That below indicates Robin Hood's Pasture which may be identical with Robin Hood Close.
Just behind the stonewall lies Robin Hood's Pasture where the three sheep are grazing. It should perhaps be identified with Robin Hood Close.

A.H. Smith, citing an 1845 tithe award as his source, lists Robin Hood Close as a field-name under Giggleswick.[1] It seems not unlikely this was another name for Robin Hood's Pasture, which is indicated on an 1851 O.S. 6" map of the Stainforth area[2] (formerly West Riding, now North Yorkshire). The Pasture is bordered on the west by Stainforth Lane, and on the east by the Ribble. With access to the tithe award it would no doubt be easy to tell whether Robin Hood Close and Robin Hood's Pasture are in fact two names for the same enclosed field. Immediately north or northwest of Robin Hood's Pasture, Robin Hood's Mill is indicated on the 6" map just referred to. Robin Hood's Pasture is not indicated on the O.S. 6" maps of 1896 and 1910 (see Maps section below).
