This well is referred to in a 1773 MS source as "Robin Hoods Well".[1] Dobson & Taylor,[2] who provide the coordinates for this locality, note that the well is "[p]ossibly associated with Robin Hood's Bower and Moss". This is due to a misunderstanding of their source, A.H. Smith, who actually does not suggest that there is any connection between these localities beyond the fact that they are named after Robin Hood.[3]
