By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-08-04. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2019-04-05.

Little John's Well and the neighbouring Robin Hood's Well and Will Scarlet's Well high on Stanbury Moor were said in 1899 to be "[h]alf-hidden underground, and fringed with fern and bog-weed".[1]

Halliwell Sutcliffe's description, just cited, is quoted in full under Allusions below. While this is the earliest mention of Little John's well known to IRHB, Robin Hood's Well is first mentioned around the middle of the 19th century.Template:PnItemQry
